VOICED : Cataluna fija fecha para consulta sobre i

Catalonia announced a referendum on independence from Spain, scheduled for November 9, 2014. The Spanish government declared the vote illegal. The referendum includes two questions about Catalonia becoming an independent state. Catalans can choose to maintain the current status, seek independence, or demand more autonomy without full secession. The Spanish government, led by Mariano Rajoy, quickly reiterated its ban on the vote. Catalonia, proud of its language and culture, has seen a rise in independence sentiment, driven by economic concerns and demands for better fiscal treatment.
