Premier Catalonia: Result referendum binding
The outcome of the referendum on Independence of Catalonia Sunday is valid and binding.
Spain had forbidden the referendum, but more than 2.2 million Catalans went to the polls. Thousands of Spanish police officers were deployed to prevent voting, and that went out of hand in many places. In particular, agents of the National Guardia Civil were deployed to frustrate the poll.
Ultimately, 90 percent voted for independence.
