Catalonia goes to the polls in vote to gauge support for independence

ai generated text

The autonomous community of Catalonia is holding elections to elect 135 lawmakers to its parliament. The polls are open from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, with results expected several hours later. According to surveys, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is likely to win the most votes. Meanwhile, around 250 pro-independence activists gathered in Manresa, north of Barcelona, on May 6 to show support for former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont, who is still wanted in Spain for disobedience and misappropriation of public funds.
