The text deals with the recent situation in Catalonia and Spain and is structured in two parts. In the first part, the author analyses the post-referendum situation in Catalonia and Spain. The second part is a translation of the third chapter of the author’s book Clase, pueblo y nación en la crisis del Estado español. Nacionalismos, populismos y nuevos bloques históricos antisistémicos en la coyuntura actual. The chapter discusses the topics of sovereignty, form of state, territory, and nation in the context of the present crisis in Spain and Catalan separatist tendencies. The discussion is informed by radical political innovations of the post-Fordist class on both the local and EU levels.
