One Million March in Barcelona to Demand Independence for Catalonia
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In international news, in Barcelona, 1 million people poured into the
streets on Monday to demand independence for Catalonia. The march
increases pressure on Spain ahead of an independence referendum on
Catalan independence on October 1. This is protester Eva Soltiger.

Eva Soltiger: "We have come for another year to fight for what we
believe in, for our interests. We are a people with our own identity and
language. What we cannot have is the oppression we have been
experiencing so far. And we want to be able to have a democratic and
peaceful vote."
