Only 26% of Catalans believe that the independence of Catalonia should be a priority for the current Government of the Generalitat, compared to 72% who reject that the regional Executive focus its attention on that issue, according to a survey by Ipsos for La Vanguard, held from May 9 to 12.
Even among Esquerra voters there is a clear division of opinions, with 48% of them rejecting secession as a priority. Only among Junts and CUP voters are more numerous those who see independence as a central priority of the Government.
At the same time, and in the event of holding a legal and agreed referendum, 51% of those consulted would be in favor of Catalonia remaining in Spain, while 39% would be inclined to separate.
Faced with this dilemma, the alignments are defined by blocks. 100% of the voters of the PP, 85% of those of Vox and more than 80% of those of the PSC would vote in favor of continuity in Spain. Even 75% of Commons voters would reject secession. Instead, all CUP supporters, 90% of Junts supporters and 77% of ERC supporters would vote in favor of independence.
In this sense, six out of ten citizens under 35 years of age would support staying in Spain and the same would be 71% of those consulted who have more economic difficulties to make ends meet. By linguistic identity, secession would be imposed among those who feel identified only with Catalan, while staying in Spain would be the majority among those who feel identified with both languages or with Spanish.
