CATALAN INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM: POWER OF UNIONISTS OR INDEPENDENTS?

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to explore the political and ideological confrontation between two concepts of the existence of the Kingdom of Spain – unionism and independence On the one hand, the activities of supporters of independence regarding the holding of a legitimate referendum on the independence of Catalonia and the creation of its own state are analyzed, and on the other hand, the opposition to such a scenario by supporters of a single state – unionists. The dispute between the two concepts exists not only in Spain’s political life but also in Spain’s society, which reflects the general trends of the existence of a dialogue about the future of the Kingdom of Spain. The importance of fully understanding the internal political situation in Spain and finding a compromise between opposing opinions is substantiated. The repeated referendum on independence in Catalonia and subsequent plans for its legitimization prove the political tense between Madrid and the regions.
