I'm I the only one who thinks this is all about money? I mean it's not like Catalans are having a bad time in Spain and EU for instance, so why all the fuss? Their region is small, yet the richest in Spain and they just wanna keep it for themselves.

Scotland kinda supports it because they are on the diverge, the EU and US are right not to do so, there is law apart from democracy, and I don't think the rest of Spain people support the idea. It is different from Scotland, we are talking about a semi-autonomous but fully integrated region trying to totally break free, it's just not possible.

They should have fought for more autonomy instead... but now it's too bad

They are only the 4th richest actually.
Community of Madrid, Basque Country and Navarre are leading in GDP per capita.

But they are the 1st (almost tied with Madrid) out of the 17 when it comes to nominal GDP.

So they have the 1st biggest nominal GDP inside a country that has the 14º biggest GDP in the world. They are doing great, only reason Basque Country and Navarra has better GPD per capita is the special privileged economic status that Spain gave them (the CUPO), this status would be very difficult for the state to be applied in Catalonia though.
