When the results of the Spanish Parliament's expanded meeting were announced, several passed proposals immediately sparked widespread discussion among all Spaniards.
The merger of several less populous regions was something most Spaniards were already aware of.
Except for a small number of Basques who would oppose it, most Spaniards were not against the Parliament's proposals.
But what Spaniards did not expect was that, besides passing the merger and reorganization of administrative divisions, this expanded parliamentary meeting also passed proposals to reform the regions into states and to establish Barcelona as an independent administrative division.
Any one of these two proposals would be a significant change to Spain's existing administrative divisions, let alone both proposals being passed at the same time.
