Franco stripped Catalan of its autonomy in 1938 and the Spanish courts and government have been blocking restoration ever since.
Franco stripped everyone of their autonomy when he won the war. But before that, Catalonia had autonomy within Spain. As they do now, as laid out by the 1978 constitution that Catalonia ratified.

So since you are supporting Franco's position on this I see why you are concerned about being misconstrued.
I'm really not supporting Francoism by defending the constitution. If Catalonia wants to be independent, by all means push forward with changing the constitution. But voting in local officials who ignore the constitution and create their own laws... yeah, I get why that's not going to go over too well.
All that said, I'm not Spanish, so I'm really not too concerned with getting involved.
