Catalans hold rally

AROUND 80,000 people rallied in Barcelona yesterday in a show of support for Catalan leaders locked in a tug-of-war with Madrid over independence for their region, police said. The demonstration aimed in particular at supporting Catalonia’s former president, Artur Mas, and the head of its parliament, Carme Forcadell. In November 2014, they staged a symbolic vote on independence for the wealthy northeastern region in defiance of Spain’s central government. Mas is now to stand trial on charges of “serious disobedience” and “malfeasance,” for which he risks a 10-year ban on holding office.
