"Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gathered in Barcelona on
Tuesday in a quest to restore momentum to their bid to secede from
Spain, a sign of the intractable political clash that confronts the
recently appointed Spanish prime minister.
Demonstrators stretched along several miles of Barcelona’s main avenue shouted “independence!” in a show of strength to mark an annual event celebrating the culture and history of Spain’s Catalonia region. They were also a multitudinous reminder for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez that many Catalans haven’t abandoned their goal of eventual independence, despite a failed attempt to secede from the rest of Spain last autumn."
Joaquim “Quim” Torra, the regional president and a hard-line separatist, said the regional government will honor the results of an unauthorized independence referendum held last year, when a majority of Catalans who cast their ballots voted in favor of secession. “Our government has committed to make the republic a reality,” Mr. Torra said in a televised address in Barcelona.
The US newspaper writes about the democracy fail by the Spanish population: "Only one in 10 Spaniards support granting Catalonia and Spain’s 16 regions the possibility to become independent, according to a survey in July by Spain’s Center for Sociological Research, a figure that has held steady in recent years."
