SPAIN-CATALONIA-POLITICS-DEMO

Demonstrators hold giant flags of Scotland, Basque Country and Catalonia during a demonstration called by Gure Esku Dago (It's in our hands) in support of a Catalan vote on independence from Spain, in the northern Spanish Basque city of Bilbao on September 13, 2014. Spain's national government has branded the November vote illegal and vowed to block it, but Catalonia's regional president Artur Mas has vowed to push on with the plan.
