One thing, in the War of Spanish Succession, not only Catalonia joined the Hapsburg side but also Aragon and Navarra, also some people from other places but not that much, and after the War not only Catalan was banned in administration but also other languages like Aragonese, Asturleonese, Basque and Galician. Also, nowdays Catalonia has the same as autonomy as the Basque Country and Navarra, which all three have their own police force for example.

It wasn't really a constitution, the first modern constitution is considered the US or the British ones, before these there were "Carta Magna"s in different kingdoms of Europe but they weren't like constitutions which define a state, they were more as a unbreakable set of laws to keep the nobles happy.

It doesn't say that in video, anyway the Catalan counties were independent for some time and then joined Aragon.

Basque people speak Spanish as well, in fact only half speak Basque, every region in Spain has its culture and language, some are really oppressed not like Catalan and Basque which are official, I'm forbidden from using my language in Parliament for example.

@mercecieza9898 No a qué. Lo que he dicho es cierto.

The cultural claim isn't even completely valid, because Catalonia is not different from the rest of Spain because there's no "Spanish culture", Spain is a multicultural and multilingual country, if Catalonia secedes then the rest of regions also have the right, it would simply dissolve Spain.

The referendum lacked basic security and didn't met the standards of a vote, there were cases like dead people voting, ballots being placed in the street without any surveillance... As a Spaniard, I think that if the majority wants to leave they should be able, but first they should be educated correctly about the history of Catalonia and the consequences of Independence, there's a lot of propaganda running in Catalonia, there was a report of some Catalan parents that complained about what they teached at History class some years ago, there's also propaganda of the Spanish right‐wing saying things like if you go to Catalonia and speak Spanish they'll beat you up, it's a lie, Catalans have no problem speaking Spanish if needed, this is used mainly to escandalize and put the population against other regionalism, this argument was used in the debate about the oficialization of the Asturian language, right-wing parties said that the language would be forced upon the people who didn't speak it "like in Catalonia", people should be infomed with no propaganda to make their decision freely.

Yeah, Canada is not barbarian country, the country that kidnapped native children to reeducate them, in the 20th century...

@DerAua Catalans always crying like babies to get attention "I'M SO OPPRESSED!!! 😭", your language is official, you can use it wherever you want, not like mine or others which are banned to use in official documents to this day.

Spanish didn't come from Galician-Portuguese, Castillian didn't come from Asturleonese either, they developed at the same time from vulgar latin, Castillian and Aragonese having a lot of Basque influence.
