Abstract

The political situation in Spain, after the failed attempt of a unilateral declaration of the independence of Catalonia, has become the subject of study by the scientific and professional public throughout Europe and the world. The strained political relations between official Madrid and Catalonia have reached their peak in the last few years, which leads us to the conclusion that the Spanish state is in a political crisis. In this paper, we will examine the potential sources of this crisis, which may include the crisis of the regional model of the state, the future of the monarchy, the crisis of Spanish identity, separatism in Catalonia and the Basque Country, the rise of the far-left and far-right, and other factors that may further induce political crisis (such as the economic and demographic situation). In conclusion, we will propose the improvement of the regional state as a solution (as opposed to the proposals on the federalization of Spain), as well as the abandonment of radical strategies wherever they come from.
