The Financial Times carries a story about a huge rally in Barcelona in support of Catalan independence. The president of Catalonia, similar to the governor of a U.S. state, favors independence for the wealthy region which is a net tax donor to the rest of Spain.
Spain, of course, opposes independence for Catalonia. Spain also says this is not a decision to be made by Catalans alone, but must be agreed to by Spain. Good luck with that!
