the problem is that people of catalonia right now have real fear people of catalonia right now have realfeartalonia right now have real fear and economic fears connected with the uncertainty that you guys have stirred up. six, seven yea rs you guys have stirred up. six, seven years ago, this kind of proposal, this republic for a new catalonian state, would have received no more than 20%. and we have already made a great lap, a great forward advance from 20 to almost 50. then it is not a fixed, stable, closed situation. it is another element. the bloc for the republic is different because it is diverse, left, central right, ce ntre—left, is diverse, left, central right, centre—left, everything else. is diverse, left, central right, centre-left, everything else. yes, the separatist movement... there is still a project, a common purpose, a real future. still a project, a common purpose, a realfuture. 0n still a project, a common purpose, a real future. 0n the other side, still a project, a common purpose, a realfuture. 0n the other side, the other 50%, to say, there is no project. they have not

exactly the who gives for a scottish independence if you have brakes you do it how flood of seen in catalonia as well just what the real attitude is of the e.u. leadership towards any country within a steed wanting independence i mean the we in which they backed up the spanish government for its illegally devotee i think is not to do doormen for the e.u. been particularly prue independence or even staying neutral so your policy would be pro after the european three trade association will go to see the final deal to see what the options are but certainly i think the illogical position as things stand at the moment for scotland for an independent scotland would be to be a member of efta a and the european economic area so that gives you the benefit of being in the european market with the don't side of being in the customs union a or in the agricultural policy or the fishing policy no with a nice easy solution to this is still all one we all good and all bad but i think on balance that's a good way forward but wouldn't as the unionist parties would say would not cause problems on the scottish e

you do not command an overwhelming majority of the people of catalonia on your side.ember election result, which was very close. look at the opinion polls today, which show that 46% of catalans favour independence, almost 45% oppose it. this is a region completely divided. you don't have the momentum which would take your movement towards independence. in any case, you have won the last four opportunities to express our will, in terms of votes, in 2014 with a proper consultation. my point is not that you can't win elections — these are the words of an historian, she says, "some of us believe that, despite the fact of victory and a referendum might be valid and legitimate with a win of simply 51%, the truth is in terms of secession from spain, you need a much wider majority than that," and you can't win that wider majority. why we can't? it's our goal. i said it before. it's part of our goals. it's exactly this one. we are conscious of this. we know that it will reach that to overcome the 50% of catalan society in favour of our project. we will have no right to claim f
