The cessation of Catalonia from Spain poses the all important question if independence on cultural, religious or ethnic basis is justified? And how is the mother country to deal with the rebellion? Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism says that cessation is justified, on condition that it leads to more liberty; not to establish a socialist europhile crypto tyranny.
UPDATE: Remember Catalonia's still born bid for independence back in 2017? Now there is a twist to this story! Former police chief José Manuel Villarejo has admitted that the CNI (the Spanish intelligence service) was behind the terror attack on the Ramblas in Barcelona in August of 2017 in order to deter Catalonians from voting for independence a month before the referendum. Sixteen people died in the attack.
