    NEWS: Katlonien: Separatisten gewinnen Regionalwahlen
    September 27, 2015 - Barcelona, Spain: Separatists win control of Catalonia parliament in key regional vote. Parties in favor of Catalonia's independence from Spain got an absolute majority in the catalan parlamient with a record participation of almost 80%. The main pro independence alliance and a smaller anti-capitalist party won 72 seats of a total amount of 135. The winner party Junts pel Sí (Together for Yes) want to start a 18 months process to be next new country of Europe. The region's nationalist president Artur Mas declared victory to a cheering crowd of flag-waving supporters after an emotional election that has heightened tensions with Madrid. The Spanish central government sees the result as a big failure not only of the current president Artur Mas but of the whole pro-independence process, as Mas "failed" by not winning a majority of votes and falling short of a majority for his own party.
