VOICED : Cataluna fija fecha para consulta sobre i

Catalonia has set a date for a referendum on its independence from Spain, scheduled for November 9, 2014. The Spanish government has declared the vote illegal and vowed to prevent it. The referendum will ask Catalans if they want Catalonia to become a state and if they want it to be independent. This dual-question format allows for options ranging from maintaining the current status to full independence or increased autonomy without secession. The push for independence is fueled by economic concerns and a strong regional identity. The Spanish government, led by Mariano Rajoy, opposes the referendum, citing legal grounds.
