We vote this Sunday February 14 in Spain, in Catalonia, but in what proportions?
The abstention could be strong this evening when the polling stations close for this regional poll organized under Covid-19.
The independence power had also wanted to postpone it, in vain.
Another unknown: the weight of the separatists, three years after the unilateral declaration of independence of Catalonia, one of the biggest political crises in Spain.
