It would have been the smart play, yes. Instead, they’ve sent in the jackboots every time. Civil war is coming.

Do they even have guns?

With nearly all votes counted, separatist parties won a slim majority in Catalan parliament, a result that promises to prolong political tensions which have damaged Spain’s economy and prompted a business exodus from the region.
