We don't hate Spain. I don't know of any Catalan who hates Spain or the Spanish people. What we don't like the Spanish political state, the Monarchy, the centralism, Spanish nationalist parties and so on.

It's mostly the other way around, where you see hardcore Spanish nationalists hating on us, our language and our culture. hey want a uniform Spain, with one single language, hating on Basques, and any other Spanish region with their own language. But at the same time they don't want us to become independent. I'll never understand their position.

What is the end-goal, post-independence?

Living in a more modern and better country member of the European Union that can serve better the citizens, where we no loner have to ever worry about losing our autonomy or some Spanish nationalist party wanting to remove our language.
