The tensions in Catalonia are *primarily* a reflection of a nationality or nation within the Kingdom of Spain that feels to be sufficiently different from the rest of Spain and insufficiently respected when it comes to the political rights and fiscal independence, among a few other things.

Patriotism or the love for one's homeland aren't dirty ... more »
