> people who wanted to vote "no" didn't show up, because of fears of violence.

that is just false. They did not show up because they did not want the referedum to take place.

Then it sucks to be them. You can't blame everyone else for making a decision when you refuse to voice your opinion on said decision.

Yeah, maybe because it was not legal, anyway, it does not show in an accurate way the opinion of the Catalans.

Funny that I got downvoted for saying that, I will say it again, it was not legal, and therefore because the lack of participation is not representing the opinion of the Catalans.

Obviously there is no legitimacy on declaring the independence in an unilateral way considering that the referendum was illegal. What is happening is pure "picaresca española" ;)
