“The Minister of Justice, Rafael Catala, on behalf of the Spanish government, defined the vote as ‘political propaganda organized by pro-independence forces.’  After Spain’s High Court ruled the independence referendum proposed by Catalan leader Artur Mas unconstitutional last month, the Madrid government has also issued a ban on the informal poll, forbidding Catalans from making any public show of support for independence.  Earlier, the Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, stated the vote ‘will not have any effect.’  But that did not stop some 41,000 volunteers from organizing the election with over 1,300 polling centers set up for the historic vote.”
