Alex Salmons, Scottish First Minister, presents this morning the details for the referendum for the independence of Scotland. It is a 670-page large document which includes all the main aspects. He also believes that in case of being independent, Scotland could share the Pounds with Great Britain although there is some opposition from England is not sharing his opinion. The referendum will take place the 18th September 2014.

The evolution of the independence process in Scotland is very interesting for Catalunya because both countries experience similar emotions – a huge need of being an own nation. Scotland paves the way for countries whose people want to get the right for auto determination. 

So whatever happens in the next time in Scotland is essential for the independence process in Catalunya. If they go ahead, the Spanish Government will have more difficulties to deny the right of the Catalan people to get their referendum. It will even be essential for the whole European Community because in the end, although we are one union, we are all little nations with our own languages, traditions and convictions.
