Don't get your hopes up for Catalonia, this is what the head of the independence movement said
AM: **But in our case it is radically different because we are pro-European Union, we are pro-accepting refugees in our country, so it's exactly the opposite way round.** In fact, we have now an umbrella called Spain, but we would like to have a wider umbrella called a European Union. It is not a way to become an isolated country, **it is just a way to become an independent country within the European Union.** Of course if we win the referendum, and a "yes" vote wins, then we are absolutely willing to sit down at a table and negotiate everything with ... the Spanish government, the Spanish state and the European Union in Brussels, because it has to be a win-win operation for everybody. This is not a selfish movement for Catalonia. This is something that Catalonia aspires to be, an independent country with the EU but without damaging our neighbors.
