Catalonia's Independence Movement Faces Challenges

Published: 2024-09-11

Catalonia's independence movement is at a crossroads as it faces internal disarray and declining public support.

Lluís Llach, president of the Catalan National Assembly (ANC), describes the institutional independence movement as chaotic, with a significant drop in parliamentary support.

Despite this, social support for independence remains strong, though many are disillusioned and have stopped voting.

Recent polls show a decline in support for independence, with only 40% in favor, the lowest since the movement began.

Llach criticizes the Spanish government's handling of Catalonia's autonomy, dismissing economic agreements as insufficient.

The ANC continues to advocate for independence, emphasizing the need for long-term efforts and public mobilization.
