I had to move from Alicante to stop my kid getting taught more than 1/2 of his subjects in a regional dialect that no one speaks.
If anything this countries gone more regional than European these past few years.
Also
laws, taxes, Health, are set at regional level, not state. If the EU tries to take any of those away from the regions they would find Catalunya and the Basque country leaving.
