Spanish authorities are racing to block Catalonia secessionists from carrying out an independence referendum currently scheduled for 1th of october 2017.
According to the Catalan Centre for Opinion Studies, more than 30% in the region supported independence in 2011. This year 41.1% were in favor of independence. A July survey found that around half the population believed that they had the right to vote, but only less than half supported a split from Spain.
