Catalonia's Minister of Digital Technologies and Politics, Jordi Puignero, Believes Blockchain Will Helpthe region gain political independence from the Spanish government.

According to Puinero, using technologyDistributed Registry (DLT) Catalonia can create a system for ordinary citizens to interact with local authorities, conduct financial transactions, and create a separate data warehouse that will not be accessible to the central government of Spain.

Puinero stands for widespread adoptiontechnologies in the territory of Catalonia, because I am convinced that such a blockchain-based system will provide a high level of protection for citizens' confidential data and will support the personal interests of Catalans, who do not always agree with the ideas and actions of the Spanish authorities.

“Blockchain can make fundamental changes toadministrative management, the financial system and society, namely, will help the Catalans to gain even greater freedom and independence.
