Looking at it from the outside it does seem to be some contempt towards Catalan people, like referring to them as polacos (Polish, I guess because the speak “weird”). It also feels like when Catalan governments have tried to discuss the model of autonomy/government and the relationship between central government and autonomous governance and there’s an almost childish reaction from the central government.

They were called "polacos" because during the civil war people said that Catalonia was a province of Russia.
