În regiunea spaniolă Catalonia au izbucnit violenţe după ce forţele de poliţie spaniole au luat cu asalt centrele de votare, în încercarea de a bloca desfăşurarea referendumului privind independenţa regiunii faţă de Spania. Serviciile catalane de urgenţă au anunţat că au tratat 38 de persoane, care au fost rănite în timpul altercaţiilor cu forţele de poliţie. Guvernul de la Madrid a declarat ilegal referendumul, dar catalanii consideră că democraţia trebuie să prevaleze. „Consider că votul de astăzi este legal şi am de gând să votez şi eu, pentru că eu consider că trăim în democraţie. Toţi trebuie să facă acest lucru”, a declarat una din alegătoarele din Barcelona. Ministrul spaniol de interne, Juan Ignacio Zoido, l-a acuzat pe Carles Puigdemont pentru ceea ce a numit „evenimente lipsite de sens”. /mbaciu/menescu

Representatives of several Catalan social collectives stand behind letters forming the word "Referendum" during the closing meeting of the Catalan pro-independence groups and political parties that campaign for 'Yes' in the upcoming October 1 referendum on self-determination in Catalonia, in Barcelona on September 29, 2017. With two days left until an independence referendum in Catalonia opposed by Madrid, Catalan leaders say they have over 2,000 polling stations ready despite a crackdown on their preparations for the vote as authorities in Madrid have instructed police to ensure no votes are cast in October 1 vote as they tackle one of the biggest political crises to hit Spain since democracy was restored in the 1970s following the death of longtime dictator Francisco Franco. / AFP PHOTO / LLUIS GENE
