2012 Catalan Elections

On 25th November Catalan citizens will vote to elect the entire 135-seat Catalan Parliament, which will later elect the next President of the Catalan Government. These elections can be also understood as a plebiscite on Catalonia’s right to self-determination. The incumbent Catalan President called for earlier elections two weeks after the 1.5 million strong demonstration for Catalonia’s independence and five days after the Spanish Government's refusal to negotiate a specific fiscal agreement between Catalonia and Spain.
