Catalunya independence sentiment Analysis

Motivation

I would like to analyze the open web for a deep analysis of the scenarios that led to catalonia independence, starting from 2010 where the Spain government remove the special to the province until today, where the independence movement is thwarted and their organizers facing jail time,while the province is in constant alert following a political control coming from Spain.

My main area of data source would be twitter along with the mass and independent media of Spain and europe.

Data Sources, Hypothesis
