To be honest, I think we already are in a point of no-return. Not necessarily to the independence though, but who knows...

What's the alternative to independence if they cannot return to the status quo?

I think a new Constitution is the only solution. It could be possible to reform the Spanish State to make it federal or confederal and hopefully this would be accepted by all the political forces involved. However, this new Constitution would have to be voted by all of Spanish citizens in a referendum, not only the Catalans.

Civil war.
