FOR AND AGAINST. IS INDEPENDENCE GOOD FOR CATALONIA?

Nowadays, Catalan people has to choose a president for Catalonia which also means to decide to want independence or not. As many things in life, there are advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, one advantage is that the money produced by Catalonia not only wouldn't go to Madrid but all of it would also stay in Catalonia. Furthermore, Catalan culture wouldn't have a risk to be eradicated by Spanish government.

On the other hand, although the money would stay in Catalonia, the economy would be affected by enterprises which would leave the country. Another important disadvantage is the social tension that could appear between Spanish and Catalan people.

In my opinion, it is really difficult to know what could happen and I think I don't have enought knowledge to decide.
