Referendum on independence in Catalonia

7
years ago

01 October 2017,

A referendum on independence was held in Catalonia. With a participation of 43.03%, 90.18% voted for independence. Beyond the result, they carried out a massive exercise of disobedience with the Generalitat, led by Carles Puigdemont, and thousands of citizens supported the polling stations in the face of the violence of the Spanish Police and the Civil Guard. The images that revolved around the world did not allow the Spanish State to recognize the right to self-determination. Many senior officials were imprisoned and others had to be exiled.
