Contrasting Visions on the Territorial Distribution of Power and Catalan Independentism and the Constitutional Structures of the Spanish State of Autonomies
摘要
The Catalan Parliament gave its approval for Catalonia to become an independent republic on October 27, 2017. It acknowledged the results of the October 1st failed referendum—which the Spanish Constitutional Court had ruled was invalid—to be binding (Cetrà et al. 2018). The turnout was 43% of the electoral census, despite the Guardia Civil and police using force to keep people away from polling places and ballot boxes set up by volunteers working under the Catalan government’s auspices. Independence was chosen by 2,044,538 participants, or 90.2% of the total.
