Spanish police officers immobilize some people outside a polling station in Barcelona, on Oct. 1, on the day of a referendum on independence for Catalonia banned by Madrid.
More than 5.3 million Catalans are called today to vote in a referendum on independence, surrounded by uncertainty over the intention of Spanish institutions to prevent this plebiscite banned by justice.
