Catalonia calls early elections in bid for greater independence

The Catalan region of North East Spain has called elections in November in an effort to get greater independence from Madrid. Catalonia produces a fifth of the country’s GDP and has had its plans to manage its own tax revenues rejected.

Economically developed but heavily indebted Catalonia plans to conduct elections two years ahead of schedule on November 25.

Unemployment, financial instability and austerity measures imposed by the central government in Madrid have made 46.4% Catalans support independence, according to a recent survey. It is twice as many as four years ago before the financial crisis began.
