"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

From the article (Ministry of Propaganda position):
"Catalonia would face a number of constitutional hurdles to secede, and such an outcome is seen as unlikely any time soon."
Of course the reality is that when secession is being discussed, constitutionality is just as moot as statute is. One is seceding from not only the country, but also its constitution. It's silly to think otherwise. There are not, and never have been, any constitutional barriers to secession, in any country.
"...when secession is being discussed, constitutionality is just as moot as statute is..."
Paul, I had to give you yet another thumbs up. Sorry, I realize that my thumbs-ups may reflect badly on you, with some individuals here. ;^)
The only difference we may have is that "one is NOT seceding from the country", unless we define "country" as the ”a nation or state”
