Those weren't "referendums", those where "enquirys" which is not the same. The result of an "enquiry" has no legal obligations, for example, in the first enquiry, independentist won by far (81%), but there was no independence. It some way of knowing what people/society thinks about an issue.

As I said in my previous comment, there haven`t been any referendums about independence in Spain (I live in Spain so I think I know about what I'm talking), basically because the spanish goverment doesn't want to, and on the other hand, the so called "rigth to choose or decide" with a referendum is one of the things Catalonians (and also Basks) want.

> We must remember that Catalonia has already held two legal referendums, where the result has been a refusal of the Catalan people to leave Spain or Independence

That's not true, I think you are confusing Catalonia with Scotland.

Preciselly one of the main issues is that a part o Catalonian society (I would say a big one, from both sides, independentist and non independentists) wants a referndum, but Spain refuses to do it.
