So what exactly happened in Catalonia on Sunday?

Is Catalonia ready to become an independent state?

BARCELONA -- Here is a very good personal article by Sandra Piddock on a subject that hardly, if at all, got reported on in New CampoPulse. It is titled Never mind the percentages – look at the people who turned out to vote!. One of the sentences in Sandra's personal view of the situation there: "Forget percentages, forget the numbers, forget the negative attitude that ‘60% didn’t vote.’ The words will fade from memory, but the image of those snaking queues of Catalans will probably stay with me for ever." Any comparison to Scotland's recent venture is purely coincidental, if there is one at all.
