What's really happening in #Catalonia?

It's very difficult to understand which source to trust these days, in particular with such highly political topics.

In Italy there are two main narrations of this fight for independence from #Spain: one that says Catalonia want independence because they deeply feel as a different nation/culture, and the other that says they want independence because they are much much richer than the rest of Spain and don't want to share their wealth.

The two could also be true (or false) at the same time.

Anyone can give a better perspective?
