No I am not confused. The European Union doesn't have a constitution. it only has treaties. nothing else.
california has a constitution. Spain doesn't.
Have you seen the cop jumping from the stairs smashing a protestor below ? bad.
I said that is was more or less similar, not exactly the same.
In any case, you provide me with more arguments against secessionism. If California, which is a bigger economy than Spain (according to your data), has a single government. There is no reason at all to have 17 mini-states within Spain which are the main reason for the economic and political problems in Spain. If Spain gets rid of the crazy autonomous regions and implements a single government like California it would be much more prosperous.
You get all together to build a single Spanish government without silly 17 mini-states and everything will be much better for all the Spaniards, including you and the rest of them living in the region of Catalonia.
Counties are not mini-states like there are in Spain. Spain always had counties which then became mini-states because of the pressure of the terrorist from the Basque (ETA) and Catalonia regions (Terra Lliure).
There is no problem of having counties or more properly provinces as a County is the reign of a Cuont and I don't think we want non-elected Cuonts, hahaha
