Unfortunately, you are wrong, my friend. Catalonia is not becoming independent and Spain is not becoming a Republic. But I'll keep fighting for the 2nd.
Although Prince Felipe is well-liked (even I mildly like him), we need to shake up things down here if we want to get rid of corruption and privileges for the powerful.
You know, there's not difference between a kingdom or a republic.
In the Spanish case I think the symbolic difference would be quite significant. Reinstating the monarchy was Francos idea, after all.
