What is Seeking Independence: The Procés and Its Fate about?
The 2017 attempt of the Catalan Generalitat to secure independence on a unilateral basis failed outright. A referendum gave overwhelming support to independence but attracted the participation of only a minority of Catalans and a subsequent declaration of independence revealed entrenched obstacles to securing independence on a unilateral basis. The subsequent events revealed even more fully the rigidity of the Spanish state and the depth of the real obstacles to Catalan independence, which are in large part external to Spain itself. Beyond the opposition of the Spanish state and mobilization of opposition within Catalonia itself, the fundamental obstacles to independence are external to Spain: resistance of international corporate elites and financial interests and rejection by officials and government heads of the European Union.
