Why is there no thread about Spain reverting to fascism?

Well, as a Spanish I have a lot to say about this issue, so I'll do my best to explain things as I see them.

I support the independent movement, not in Catalonia, because I'm not a catalan myself, I'm from another part of Spain, Galicia (my actual first language isn't Spanish, is Galician XD), which also have legit claims about independence, though in here is not as widely accepted as it is in other parts of Spain, like Basque Country and Catalonia. But, though I sympathize about the independent claims, part of the catalonian government is full of corruption. So I guess they want to be out of Spain because they want to cover up their own corruption. Nevertheless, there are a huge percentage of the Catalonian people who is independent, so the referendum has to be done. And ideally, in a legal way.

The thing is that our Constitution doesn't allow a referendum to take place, so this referendum was illegal according to the Spanish government, which is actually true. The fact that we can't vote about this issue in any part of the country is stupid. I support a change to the Constitution to allow these referendums to take place, and to recognize that this country is home to several nations. The Spanish government acted in a really irresponsible way, using force against citizens who showed passive resistance, and with the only harm, going with a vote. Which, ironically, is provoking that the independent movement grows at a fast rate. That can't happen in a supposed "democracy". So I think we haven't moved on totally from the dictatorship which took place about 40 years ago. We still live in a moderate fascism. And, well, the problem is that as far as I know most of the people support it. I read tons of comments in these last days supporting police brutality against the Catalonian people.

So, this conflict isn't going to end unless they try to stablish a dialogue between the Catalonian and Spanish government. This isn't going to happen though, unless some international organism acts and sit both of those governemnts to talk and reach a common ground.
