Catalonia wants to rule its own destiny. Polls made this clear a couple of months ago when more than 51 per cent of Catalans showed their support for independence. In Girona, a mega-concert, with dozens of bands and an audience of thousands, became a massive clamour for a change in the statu quo. Politicians are watching with concern as the people themselves push ahead without waiting for them to lead the process. Financial asphyxia from Madrid is bringing things to a head and some analysts are seeing a call for early elections in Catalonia that could become a referendum for independence avant la lettre. Stay tuned, because the best is yet to come.
