Catalans are being called to vote for the creation of a new mini-state, which the nationalists hope will become a member of the capitalist European Union, the Eurozone and NATO. It is led by pro-austerity forces, which have implemented billions of euros in austerity in Catalonia.

The whole campaign is being launched on the basis of the “right to decide” of Catalans on their future, concealing the economic agenda and the class character of the new state.
