Let's look at the facts: Catalonia is akin to South East England. It is the centre of economic dynamism in Spain.
If it leaves Spain, the country will automatically lose 20% of economic activity; a very serious setback.
As many of us know, it was not just Greece that should never have joined the single currency; the books were cooked to get the likes of Spain and Italy in too. So, if Spain lose 20% of its economy, it may well again plunge the Euro into extremely hot water and possibly tip it over into collapse. So, this may well be why the EU's gauleiters would rather see a united Spain.
