Utter nonsense. These Catalonians are destabilising the country and have no legal ground to stand on. What, do you support the Western Cape to secede from the rest of South Africa as well? Should any region simply be allowed to secede simply because a portion of its population think it a good idea? It is not "brutal repression". The police were ordered to shut down the illegal independence voting process and the Catalonians then did just what they do best - play the eternal victims. Spaniards themselves are actually quite sick and tired of this and would actually, at this point, be quite happy to have Catalonia secede from Spain, if only to stop hearing their constant moaning and complaints. It's just that pesky Spanish constitution of theirs which is preventing the country from being broken apart. Who needs constitutions anyway? Anyone should just be allowed to demarcate their own little piece of territory and call it theirs. Not so, Balt Berhagen? Viva!
