Catalonia is a Spanish region, but there’s a movement that really wants the region to be independent. To basically become its own country.
There have been numerous referendums, protests and all manner of political intrigue.
Now, some people will of course be very much against this region separating from Spain for any number of reasons. It would create economic uncertainty, and adds new barriers. Even within the region not everyone is a fan of independence.
So yeah, that poster might feel particularly strongly about wanting to keep that region, or just a particular dislike for them.
I’m not on any side, merely stating the arguments used.
In general, I agree with you. If that region chooses to separate, they should be allowed to do so. Much like the Brexit.
But like Brexit has shown, separation also brings some complex issues. And we are talking about something that impacts at least the 8 million people living there, a lot of whom don’t WANT to separate.
There really should be an independent, internationally monitored referendum to settle this matter and let the people decide what they want, without interference from outside the region.
I don’t understand. Why boycotting then?

Sounds like a good thing to me. If they don’t want to be part of Spain you shouldn’t send in the police to beat them and spy on their phones.
That’s worse.
Much worse.
You’re on the wrong side of this. Pro independence. Fuck people who just assume they own your ass.

Yea I’ve read of that. It was actually Russian psyops that exacerbated the tensions, in a period where they were meddling in Britain for Brexit
