        Rajoy is free to oppose Catalan independence, but through persuasion alone, not violence. The use of force to halt a vote is oppression.

        One can be against Catalan independence and still in favor of human rights. But one cannot be in favor of Rajoy's crackdown and say the same

        People have a right to self determination. The political class violating that right when exercised does not make that right "absurd".

        No, it isn't. That right only applies to former colonies and UN mandates or where force is used to subjugate. Separatism is not a right.

        The constitution of Spain is that. Need to carve a new stone to change it. Which would have been an option had the issue not been forced.

        It isn't despotic in the slightest and they have no right under Spanish, UN or EU law to form their own country.
