Europe does NOT want Catalonia to become independent, if it does it will encourage a resurgence in nationalist demands within the EU Bloc, France is fighting calls from Corsica, Flanders want autonomy, Scotland wants out, If the Catalans succeed it will be a nightmare for the jackboot brigade in Brussels. It will do everything in its power to prevent this happening. I feel for Catalonia, I really do, lets not forget it's not so very long ago that Franco marched into Barcelona and executed 10,000 republican men and women in five days.
That doesn't matter for the pro EU brigade. History means nothing to them (unless its ours then we are colonial racist pigs).
