Cataluña quiere decidir
Summary
The text advocates for a citizen-led constituent process in Catalonia to determine its future status, citing the failure of negotiations with the Spanish state and the example of Scotland's referendum. It emphasizes that a majority of Catalans desire a consultation and that the resulting state should prioritize a strong welfare system and democratic pluralism while remaining within the European Union.
Key insights
- The author contends that the 'right to decide' is necessary because negotiations for further decentralization between Spain and Catalonia have failed, and the 2010 Constitutional Court ruling limited the 2005 Statute of autonomy.
- Public support for a consultation is high, with over 80% of Catalans wanting to be consulted and approximately 90% stating they would accept the result of an independence referendum.
