Is it possible for Catalonia to become independent?

Catalonia is on fire between independence and enslavement.


Spain government declared to enforce the article 155 of the constitution responding the commitment of the independence of Catalonia. This article describes direct ruling with cancelling the autonomy of prefecture.

The Guardian: Spain to impose direct rule on Catalonia as deadline passes

On the other hand, Carles Puigdemont, the Catalan President, made vague comments about this issue. He said that Catalonia had not officially declared the independence, but the process will start if Spanish government remains hostile.

Puigdemont seems to intend to make the Spanish government seat the table of negotiation. If so, the situation will not change so rapidly. Both the Spanish government and Catalonian parliament want the moratorium to propose a rational condition to fix this issue. In my guess, Catalonia will abandon the complete independence this time instead of some advantages given from the government.
