Because it is. It is a belief.

Re: What should the voting age be?
Basque separatism has nothing to do with democracy. As with Catalonia, as the wealthier and more industrialised parts of Spain, they are unhappy at seeing their funds pouring into Andalusia and such places. As always, economic realities determine how things work. Come one HoreTore, a leftie should accept that!
Democracy only really works with a nation state. For proof, see Belgium...
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: What should the voting age be?
.....But when people see "their funds pouring into Andalucia and other places", can we say that they have been heard and seen?
And yet there are more examples I can think of where people accept seeing their funds pour into other parts of the country, like western Norway, yet we see no seperatism there, do we?

@ Horetore
A quick look at a topographic map and then a population density map shows the fact the two big regions which agitate most for independence have a high population and they feel they are separate from the rest of Spain both culturally and physically too due to the mountains between them and Madrid.

Re: What should the voting age be?
There is both a huge mountain running through the middle of Norway and there are big populations(granted, in a Norwegian scale) on both sides with very few in-between. If what you say is true: why is Norway a country?
