How the Catalan government uses IPFS to sidestep Spain's legal block

The part that makes it even more confusing for me is that their party, Podemos, is a real left party which you'd expect to be against increasing income inequality.

I expect that the situation in Spain is much more complex than we give it credit for.

EDIT: added link, changed "socialist" to "left"

Podemos is a national level party and they are pro-referendum only, they do not have a strong position on independence.

Downvoted because "their" is a very misleading word. Podemos is not particularly Catalan.

Lots of left flavored parties are for "income equality, except for foreigners"

PVV in the Netherlands or Dansk Folkeparti in Denmark come to mind. I don't know enough about Podemos to know where to put them, but there's nothing contradicting about left leaning parties and nationalism.

For the the record: your position here is really fringe as far as the science goes. Most political science analysts agree that both PVV [1]and DF [2] are right-wing populists, not 'left-flavored' at all. See the very first line in both of the Wikipedia articles.

Well the article on DF also says "While overall considered part of the radical right, its policies on most economic issues would rather place the party in the centre to centre-left."

We try to squeeze too much meaning into the 1-dimensional "left-right" that it really doesn't mean anything at all.

As a note: Podemos isn't a Catalan-only party, it's national.
