Le Monde: "The separatists' mobilization capacity is intact"

"In Barcelona, one million people celebrate the Catalan National Day" is the headline of the French newspaper. "One year after the failure of their secessionist attempt, the separatists' mobilization capacity is intact." recognizes Le Monde which is far from being pro independence. Yesterday's huge demonstration is seen by Le Monde as a clear success: "The staging, cleverly orchestrated by the influential independentist associations, consisted of breaking down a wall symbolizing the obstacles overcome in the march towards a sovereign state."
