Hello, I agree with this article, but I think there is more than 20% of people speking Catalan, maybe not much more, but I would thought about 25 or maybe 30%, but in Catalunya it´s more than that, but all 3 regions, (there is in fact a 4th region ,Franja de Ponent in Aragó, where they speak Catalan).
I hope people in Europe they consider us part of them and respect us.

Hi santcugat, thanks for your comment and I'm sure we'd somehow have to contribute to the redistribution of wealth to other poorer countries in the EU, including Spain, but the difference would be that we'd have the sovereignty to negotiate to some extent and still we'd be much better off since now the fiscal deficit amounts to 21000 euros, which is about 3000 euros per capita every year and we have no say or limit in this redistribution. You can find more info here. Also, very importantly we would be able to make politics that make sense to our country and protect our language and culture, instead of funding a government that rules openly against us.

The fiscal deficit is a bogus issue, since an independent Catalonia would be a net contributor to the EU budget about the same amount.
