Will it come from outside Spain? Will Catalonia go completely guerrilla rogue and mount an underground insurgency? Will the "youth" REALLY forego their "soft life" to live as post-apocalyptic zombie killers and Negan Army Unit (National Police) hunters, while their "buds" across the French border are instagraming them from the cafe?
If-IF-- Spain cuts off everything the Catalans will freeze, starve with children, and die because the medical system will collapse this winter; that will be tantamount to genocide. It will be impossible for the Catalans to ever live side by side with the Spanish again. Not even the crap eating and spewing EU will get away with supporting that because the European people will rebel against it.
Let the Spaniards show their true colors.
The Catalans might be on to something here. I think time is on their side. And they know it.
Western Europe isn't Serbia or Russia. The common man in the west doesn't want the EU, and they certainly won't support genocide in Catalonia to maintain it (or for any other reason).
I, personally, am (nearly always) on the Local Control side of things, which is why, if I was "Spain", I'd grant Catalonia their "chosen devolved status" and do everything I could possibly do to help make Catalonia make as much money for Spain, and themselves of course, as possible.
But,.. since it's doubtful that Spain is "as smart" as I am <cough!>, we shall have to see what happens.
We'll also see what the "youth" and the "oldsters" have to say, respectively, about EU unity, as I get the distinct impression that most of the "youth" are die hard unity supporters, whilst about half the "oldsters" are unity supporters.
I could be wrong, again, though.
