Catalan Separatism

Catalan separatism is a movement advocating for Catalonia, a region in Spain, to become an independent country. It stems from a desire for self-governance, cultural identity, and economic control, as many Catalans feel distinct from the rest of Spain. This movement has fueled referendums and political debates over sovereignty, with supporters emphasizing regional rights and traditions. However, the Spanish government considers secession illegal, leading to tensions and conflicts about the region’s political future. The movement reflects complex issues of identity, autonomy, and national unity within Spain.
