CATALUNHA II - CATALONIA II - CATALONIA II

«According to a poll by the Centre of Opinion Studies (CEO), run by the Catalan Government, 49.4% of Catalans would vote "yes" to both parts of the question "Do you want Catalonia to become a State? If yes, do you want to become an independent State?" By answering with a double "yes" to the question citizens are backing independence from Spain. In addition, 12.6% would vote "yes" to the first part and "no" to the second, meaning they are backing a Catalan State within a federal or confederated Spain. Finally, 19.7% would vote "no", meaning back the current 'status quo' or they want recentralisation. Therefore, 32.3% of citizens would be against independence. In addition, 62% would want Catalonia to have greater self-government powers, including state structures. However, such a poll cannot be used to predict results for November 9's alternative consultation vote, stated the CEO, since the census is not the same and many people from the "no" side are expected not to vote in the alternative participatory process.» http://www.catalannewsagency.com/politics/item/49-4-of-catalans-would-vote-for-independence-and-32-3-would-vote-against-it-according-to-catalan-government-s-poll

The extreme position of the leaders of Spanish Government support what they not want? An open mind to a Federation of Nations would be much more better for all positions in actual historical context.
