Tensions Are High Between Spain and Catalonia

Ahead of the Catalan Independence Referendum. The level of tension between the two hasn't been this high since the Franco regime. How will this be resolved if Catalans vote yes?

Can someone give me a primer on the situation? Why do some Catalonians want to separate?

I think people are underestimating how easily this could become a legit civil war..

I need to stop going to Europe, apparently. I was in London the week after Brexit and will be in Barcelona shortly after this referendum.

I don't think they'll be able to carry out the vote.

nothing will happen here, they'll fling a couple of olives at each other and sue for peace

Background:
Independence activists are Marxist.
Spanish government, while left for the US, is relatively right wing for Western Europe.
Catalans want a socialist state.
There you go.

Bump.
Holy shite have y’all seen the videos surfacing. Wikileaks is posting them. Government officials in masks ripping voting boxes at booths. Military police beating civilians and stopping voters by any means necessary. How the hell is the UN or USA not responding to this?

The UK is the only government with the balls to allow for a secession vote.

They (Catalonians) have been setting off bombs for years. What's new?

I spent ten day in Barcelona in June. Like most independent movements it has been brewing forever and gets demagogues from all sides. It's hard to get past all the anger to even understand how they think this actually benefits them.
