After the EU barely uttered a peep about the violence, I doubt the Catalan people will give a [LIFTED].

It will be interesting if Catalonia does gain independence, they will need to release their own currency, erect borders and set up customs' posts and negotiate trading agreements with the EU... Once everything runs stably, they will be able to apply for EU membership.
If they gain independence, then they will basically have to do their own Brexit.
I don't condone what the Spanish authorities have done and are doing; but I also don't think that the Catalans have thought this through. Maybe that was why the leader has been prevaricating the few days and not actually stating whether he has declared independence or not...

If they did gain independence and apply for EU membership would Spain veto it?
I believe there has to be unanimity for new members to join.

I think they ave already said they would - and they might get Italy & France to do the same as they both have regions that would like independence

If people think the UK will have a hard time dealing with the EU after. Brexit, that's nothing compared to how hard Spain will make it for Catalonia. They won't let them in the EU, I suspect they'll oppose raid trade deals etc.
I wonder how the EU would test react of Catalonia tried to form s trade deal with the UK?
