The bar manager, who works in the city of Girona in the north east of Catalonia, said the region was arriving at the point his family “fought for”.
More than 90 per cent of the Catalonians who went to the polls earlier this month voted in favour of independence, although the Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy and the King have rejected the results.
Speaking on the Today programme, on BBC Radio 4, the voter said this was an historic moment.
He said: “Many people from my family fought in the civil war for these rights.
“Now we’re arriving at that process of independence that they fought for.”
A spokesman from Spain’s ruling People’s Party has said Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont could “end up” like former First Minister Lluis Companys, who was imprisoned and eventually executed after declaring Catalonia independent of Spain in 1934.
The apparent threat comes amid heightened tensions between Catalonia and Spain as the wealthy region threatens to break away following an independence referendum held on October 1.
Spain has been rocked by the referendum results and the police violence seen against voters in Catalonia has sparked a huge backlash.
Now, Spain’s ruling party appears to have resorted to thinly-veiled threats in a bid to force Catalan leaders to back down as the region’s independence bid threatens the breakup of Spain.
Pablo Casado, the party’s deputy secretary for communications, told reporters: “Let’s hope that nothing is declared tomorrow because perhaps the person who makes the declaration will end up like the person who made the declaration 83 years ago.”
The person who made the declaration 83 years ago, Lluis Companys, was arrested, tried and sentenced to 30 years in prison for rebellion.
