Polling in Spain suggests that separatist parties could win big in upcoming regional elections in Catalonia and the Basque Country. So what does this mean for Spain following a hung parliament last year? And could we see a push for independence votes?

This episode is seriously behind the times. We got home 🇨🇵 from Girona in Catalonia yesterday and follow the Spanish and Catalan press. The wave of separatism surrounding the referendum (and its aftermath) has passed, and the flavour of the moment is "increased autonomy within Spain".

Guys, what happened here? Usually your analysis might not be ultra-depth, but are right. In this case, though, there are quite a lot of failures. From Catalonia part: Armengol is from Mallorca, not Catalonia. The referendum thing is usual election talk, but no formal initiative had been taken (nor will be, because support for separation in Catalonia is in historical minimum and separatist know they will lose it. Maybe when the right wing is in government they have a chance), and Puigdemont have as much a chance of being president of the Generalitat as Richard Tice to be PM. BTW: the only party bringing the immigration to the forefront is Junts, being very right wing as they are. The government will be of Socialist party with support of ERC, and that is already well known unless something really big happens. About the Basques: EHBildu is not an "offshot of ETA". Some parties in the coalition (particularly EH) were. Look, politics in Spain is not chaotic, is just complicated. There are more axis than just left-right, like the unitarian-plurinational. And autonomic parties move also in a gradient between autonomism and separatism. So, when an analysis this in depth is done, you need a bit more expertais, and also consult a lot of sources, because many things are heavily polarized. Some of this polarization have filtered in your analysis and it shows.

Catalan separatists being called "junts" or together is very ironic 😂

The real deal is not actually independence, but having a fiscal superiority compared to the rest of Spain, since these regions have always benefited from less fiscal pressure in order to attract foreign investment and industry, thus creating a feedback loop in which they have been the only ones to get richer, in detriment of the rest of Spain. Now that that reversed due to the instability brought upon by the referendum and the displacement of investment to Madrid and other regions (that have a more liberal tax code than Cataluña), they are complaining even more, and demanding special treatment. Last year Cataluña got 70.000 million € in debt pardoned as part of basically blackmail to keep Sanchez in power.

As a Portuguese citizen I wish everything goes well for Spain although I'm not exactly certain what going well would be.

Separatism is on the rise? Really? Catalan separatist parties are polling lower today than the results they got in the 2021 regional elections. For the first time in decades the nationalists might not get a majority in the Catalan parliament. How on Earth is that a rise?

@pazitor Күн бұрын

I live in Spain. Support for separatism in both Catalonia and the Basque Country ebbs and flows, and neither is likely to vote in the majority for independence. Basques actually already have a sweet fiscal deal, expect Catalonia to seek the same.

Just one thing, Francina Armengol is not Catalan she is from the Balearic Islands. Another’s key issue, the support to make Sanchez prime minister does not include support for budgets

@rafaelmartinvannostrand2084 Күн бұрын

Spaniard here. Contrary what it might look actually the current situation is very stable. In Catalonia the independent movement is very much in declined. There are going to be elections for the catalonian party on May 12th and everything points that the nationalist parties are not going to get the majority in the parliament (first time in a decade). Plus, the 2 main catalonian parties (ERC and Junts) just can't stop fighting with each other and there is no way they will do a coalition. They rather join the PSE (catalonian PSOE).

ETA was not a armed separatist group, it was a terrorist group

@almirantejuandeborbon8065 Күн бұрын

As a spanish, the idea that separatists are on the rise is completey false. In fact, they're in their utter downfall. The problem is Pedro Sanchez and his amnesty law, which puts the separatists more on top than the whole spanish population regardless where a normal spanish person is from. Separatists "are on the rise" only in paper. The only thing that puts them "in rise" is Pedro Sanchez's political ageda on dealling with catalan, basque and galician separatists, as well as russian influence.

As other have commented, this video contains so many inaccuracies that you would do well in deleting it and either making a new one or focusing on topics you know better about. Something that has not been so pointed out is that separatist/nationalist parties in Catalonia have always won the majority of seats at the election and, for the first time, they may NOT do. So what rise is this?

This was one of the most poorly researched videos I’ve ever seen, as is most of the coverage from my country that comes from england suspiciously enough. Do they still see us as enemies today? That’s definitely how it feels like too often.
