I’d rather keep Catalonia and dump the rest.
Barcelona is very nice!

Catalonia could break away, then apply for EU membership, and would be accepted.

Everybody else is accepted eventually.

Nonsense article.

IMHO, many Europeans, especially in the “South” have a real third-world mentality. Catalans supposedly dislike Spain, but I would bet $100 they have a warm and fuzzy feeling for the EU. They get tired of one dictator, and simply look for another to replace the old one. With that lot, if its not the Fascists, then its the Communists.

More better to get out of EU....Catalona should do it

Free Trade Communist Globalism is a failure....and the Catalans would reap instant rewards dumping Free Trade’s worst failure...the EU

Sucks for the Scots-the SNP is far left socialist (and pro-EU), but for the people under these newly independent nations (if they make it..), Good news. Who would want to voluntarily become part of the EUSSR?
