“Article 2 in the Spanish Constitution, which determines the indissolubility of the territorial integrity, is against international law, because there is a superior law that establishes the right of all peoples to become a sovereign state. (…) Spain has to solve this problem when there is a clear majority in favour of the independence of Catalonia. The right for self-determination is not exclusively for colonial cases.” 10.12.13
