El Periodico reports on Artur Mas and the referendum


El Periodico is one of the most popular newspapers in Barcelona and is published in Barcelona. Recently, the Catalan government has decided that next year, a referendum regarding independence will occur despite the strong resistance and condemnation of the central Spanish government in Madrid. Artur Mas is an important leader in the fight for Catalan autonomy and formerly believed that the region could still function as a part of Spain, but has more recently declared it would not be possible. In this article he says that as a Catalan, you should vote yes to Spanish independence because any other alternative would not be suitable to the Catalan cause of autonomy.
