Should Catalonia become an independent state?

In September 2015, Catalan nationalist parties won an absolute majority in the 135-seat regional assembly. The parties say they will propose a plan for an independent state within 18 months. Secession is currently banned under Spain's constitution and the national government has refused to accept any proposals.

Yes, only with a decided Catalan integration into the EU, cooperations with Spain and south European Countries, and a decided idea of unifying Europe and making Europe Great together.

Catalonia would be hurt from losing EU membership and poor credit score, but Spain needs to treat Catalonia better

 @9MPCC93answered…10mos10MO

Yes, citizens of Catalonia should be allowed to vote and decide with a majority vote, and if Catalonia leaves Spain, then Spain should permanently veto Catalonia’s EU membership.

 @9KFKWFSanswered…1yr1Y

The autonomous communities with historical background should be able to vote on this only if there is a good economic plan for independence and EU backing.

 @9BZ2SZZfrom Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

First Transgender Congresswoman: Sarah McBride’s Historic Run in the Hot Seat

Democrat Sarah McBride is expected to make history next week as the first openly transgender person elected to the U.S. Congress.She is no stranger to making history: In 2016 she became the first openly transgender person to address a major U.S. political convention and in 2020 became the first to serve in a U.S. state Senate.McBride, 34, is favored to win Delaware's sole seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, after securing the Democratic nomination in a competitive September primary and is expected to easily win a seat that the three major U.S. nonpartisan political rating services rate solidly Democratic."The fact that the candidacy of someone like me is even possible... is a testament to Delawareans," McBride said in a Saturday interview.However, she sought to play down the history-making nature of her nomination and expected election."People have seen that I have a track record of rolling up my sleeves, digging into the details, bringing Democrats and Republicans together," she said. "That's what I've been campaigning on. I'm not running on my identity."Transgender rights have become a political flashpoint in the U.S. Lawmakers in 37 U.S. states introduced at least 142 bills to restrict gender-affirming healthcare for trans and gender-expansive people in 2023, Reuters reported, nearly three times as many as the previous year. In Congress, Republicans have pushed anti-trans bills at the national level for years.McBride is not worried about working with people who oppose transgender rights in Congress, saying she will focus on members open to bipartisanship, even if they do not fully agree with her values."If democracy is going to work, we have to be able to have conversations across disagreement," she said. "There is a responsibility that comes with being first, but (that) doesn't matter if I don't fulfill the responsibility of just being the best member of Congress that I can be for Delaware."
