There is a propaganda war every time there are these sort of events, that is the nature of politics and opinions!! Its up to voters depending on their own opinion as to which they believe and which they don't. There was plenty of "propaganda" produced by both sides during the Scottish Indyref as well as the Brexit referendum, and your own opinions or beliefs will determine which ones you side with. And if that propaganda is full of lies then it is incumbent on the other side to point that out and make themselves heard accordingly, that is never going to change no matter what the voting event is.
Voting is never a crime, I agree with that but there has to be a legal framework for these sort of things to operate under and no single entity can flout those laws for their own good, there needs to be agreement in the validity of the vote or else the vote becomes meaningless. If this vote goes ahead but is not sanctioned by the Spanish legal system or the government, then its pointless. Its no different to Indyref2, there are legal steps that need to take place before a binding vote can take place, without that its just anarchy.
