If Catalonia actually manages to gain independence, then it will trigger a chain reaction in Spain. The other rebellious regions (such as the Basque Country - Navarre, Galicia, Valencia, Asturia.etc) will also step up their attempts to secede from the Spanish rule. Also, it will give a boost to secessionist movements in the other countries, such as Scotland, Corsica, Bretagne, Flanders, Donbass, South Tyrol.etc.
Lots of folks all over the place are talking about seceding.
In the States, Texas is considering pulling out. Other States have talked about it. The Civil War back in the mid-1800s showed us how NOT to do it, so there will be a better chance of success this time.
It's happening all over the world. People are fed up with living under oppression by other people.

this came up a lot during the scotland referendum, eu rules are very clear in that a new country would need to apply for membership (which spain could veto)
this is about a wealthy area wanting to avoid paying taxes to support poorer areas of the same country. if spain gives in and people figure out all they need to do is hold a few protests and an illegal referendum to get their way we may see this situation arising elsewhere. this movement needs to be stamped out.

Spain is on the verge of crumbling... Catalonia is fighting for its independency.
What will happen if Spain is to disaggregate? what will be the influence over Europe?

I suppose the threat of Catalonia not being able to remain in the EU if they chose to secede is not a threat that holds much weight at the moment. If they are somehow allowed to leave Spain (which is apparently against Spain's current constitution), the EU may make some concession to allow Catalonia to remain, as it needs every vote of confidence it can get at the moment.
Don't think it matters what the spanish constitution says. Not when you have millions on the street on a region with 7.5 million people. But I don't know if they will be allowed to remain in the eu. The region is pro europe and doing well economically. So the eu may want to keep them in somehow. But that would be an exception. And could cause other regions to get more support for doing the same. And spain will probably try to prevent it. Look at their position on kosovo for example.
