I agree with you that the wealth inequality is an issue.
But I also find it amoral for anyone to try to stop someone else from ruling themselves.
It would seem a large part of the problem is the morality of strongly enforcing strong property rights in itself.
In other words, if you see the wealth inequality as sufficiently amoral, then that should not be enough to stop independence, but there might perhaps be worthwhile arguments over what terms to negotiate independence on.
But it is harder to have sympathy when Spain as a whole has not done more to redress that wealth imbalance earlier.
