What Carlo was somewhat surprised by was that after the more stringent laws were enacted, the impact in Catalonia and the Basque region was not as significant.
But in hindsight, it made sense, since the instigators who once adamantly demanded regional autonomy and even national independence had long disappeared from Spain's history along with the Carlos Faction.
It's impossible to say that these two regions are devoid of nationalists, but it's unlikely for these individuals to stand up firmly against the government's laws or incite demonstrations and rebellions.
Although they support regional autonomy and national independence, it doesn't mean they are foolish. They are able to see the current situation in Spain clearly, and Prime Minister Prim is even waiting for them to emerge so that he can capture them all at once.
Although there are no major disruptions, there are still some occasional small protests.
