I understand where you're coming from with the opposition of free Catalonia. It's a parallel of free Kurdistan. I also get that reasoning. I am also anti-separatist: I'm against the independence of Northern Hungary. But I support it's independence from Czechia.
Here in Hungary we are on the both side of the fence.
