Catalonian Elites are VERY powerful, if they want independence they will get it. They're probably fed up with Spain's high taxation and I doubt they care about EU membership. They can be the next Switzerland.
Hopefully also the Basque who are ethnically and culturally still a cohesive group of people can have Independence too.
