Only 30% of Catalans don't feel Spanish

I think that when it gets to 30% you can't use ''only''. That's 1 in each 3 persons. Which is by no means ''only''.

Even tough I support Spain's unity I truly think that the attitude of the spanish towards them is very bad.

I see with 100% normality if they just want to speak catalan since it's Catalonia and it is their language. They see as a bad thing the education system being in catalan and I find that a very arrogant and stupid attitude by the spanish. They should accept and encourage it not try to supress and make it look a ultra nationalist thing. It's just people speaking their own language in their own land.

See for example Galiza, you have an average of 10/20 brazilian comments in every youtube video about the Galician language totally amazed by the fact that they understand EVERYTHING even better then european portuguese. But the spanish found a way of making people in Galiza believe that it's an old and outdated language that only very old farmers talk. You had a post here on this subreddit about ARTE being casted for France and Germany, meanwhile in Galiza they don't have acess to Portuguese TV channels.

They make people feel bad for not incorporating what the spanish values, culture and way of life are supposed to be by their beliefs.

Some people feel pressured and fight for rights especially the rich parts like Basque, Navarre and Catalonia because they aren't really dependent of Spain. Meanwhile the weak end up being ''hostages'' because they need it and other simply act like cattle and follow the crowd.

Attention: this is something that's not done with really bad intentions by the spanish in my opinion. They are all nice people but they really have problem with other then Castillan languages. They see something natural like speaking your own language as an attact to unity because they were led to believe it.

But secession is not the answer especially when it's led by far left/right (in this case left) movements. They didn't even showed a plan for an after independence eventuality. Like Currency? National bank? Health system? EU or not? Trade partnerships? Laws alterations? Etc? Really you shouldn't vote for a blank independence unless what you want is to lose your freedom/rights/life quality. Especially after all the 2848281 examples that far left countries all over the continents gave you. See Venezuela, Angola, old Eastern Europe, North Korea.. all over the continents you have examples.
