Why should anyone else have any say in Catalonias' decision to secede? It should be up to Catalonians only. By your logic the US would never have gained independence.

Canada (a liberal democracy) allowed Quebequois to decide for themselves whether to separate. The UK (another liberal democracy) did the same for the Scots. On the other hand China (an autocratic dictatorship) would never consider the same for Hong Kong. So you see in which camp your logic lies.
