From Yahoo/Agence France Presse:
Catalan parliament declares independence from Spain
Catalan lawmakers voted Friday to declare independence from Spain but Madrid immediately moved to quash the breakaway bid in a sharp escalation of a crisis that has caused jitters in secession-wary Europe.
And the decision?
The Catalan resolution, which Madrid says the region cannot legally execute, was passed by 70 votes to 10.
There were two abstentions, but dozens of opposition MPS walked out before the secret ballot in the 135-seat assembly, where 68 votes constitute a majority.
Looks like We The People of all nations are not wanting large centralized governments full of unelected bureaucrats and instead, wanting localized small governments and sovereign pride.
