I do support an Independent Catalonia but I also understand the desire of Spain to keep a very profitable part of the country.
How would France react if a Brittany declared that they want to secede?
From the Spanish point of view, Catalonia has never really been Independent and has been part of Spain for longer than the USA has existed. Would the USA allow Texas to secede or California?

I am a Croatian and I understand the desire of a people to want to be lords of their own house. However, unlike in the case of Yugoslavia, Spain is actually a country with a large majority considering themselves Spanish. Yugoslavia was never really a unified country but rather a collection of different people and religions that were forced to share a house.

I don´t consider what Spain is doing Fascist but rather an attempt to maintain national unity, no other sovereign nation would act differently.
