3ºESO - IES de Catabois - Ferrol (SPAIN)
Catalonia is an autonomous community located in the north-east of Spain.
On September 9th, 20014, the Catalonian population was
asked about the independence of Catalonia.
This enquiry had much in common with the Scottish
independence referendum, which was held on 18th September 2014, and
where NO to independence won.
The Catalonian independence movement bases its thesis
on the principle that the Catalonian people are a sovereign nation, referring
basically to the interpretation of their history, culture, own language and Catalonian
civil law. It also affirms that Catalonia
won’t reach its cultural, social or economical plenitude while it forms part of
Spain.
The results of the enquiry reveal that 81% of the
population, amongst more than 2,3 million votes, supports the YES to independence.
Those who supported the YES-NO option (it means that Catalonia would be a
nation but it wouldn’t be independent), was supported by 10,07% while the
supporters of the NO were about 4,45%.
Priorat, in Tarragona,
was the region with the largest participation in Catalonia; it was also the one who got the most
YES votes.
