The Catalan News Paper, El Periodico, reported that Catalan is still calling for it's independence from the Spanish Government, most recently with the President of the Generalitat, Artur Mas, comparing Spanish Governments take on the Catalan Constitution to that of Franco's Regime on Catalonia.
The President of the Generalitat challenged the Catalans to demonstrate there sense of state because while it has tried under Spanish rule, it has not been fully able to for the past 300 years. Since the fall of Barcelona in the War of Succession, on September 11, 1714, Catalan's have shown been shown to have a "sense and a sense of country." Now though, it is time to know their own state and fight for their independence by showing that they can have a self governing society and that their people and state can do well without the help of Spain.
