Catalonian assembly votes for secession from Spain
Credits:

Regional lawmakers in Catalonia adopted a declaration to move toward autonomy from Spain within the next 18 months. They claimed that they won't be bound by the central government's orders. Meanwhile Mariano Rajoy, Spain's center-right Prime Minister, said his regime would seek to nullify the motion with an address to the Constitutional Court in the upcoming days.

Introduction
Beginning of Catalan separatism

Catalan separatism began in the mid 19th to early 20th century when certain Catalan political parties, individuals and organisations started demanding independence for Catalonia. Catalonia was a home-rule for the longest time, which lasted until the Spanish Civil War when under General Franco's dictatorship Catalonian culture was greatly repressed. After Franco's death in 1975, the Catalan nationalists started demanding a break from Spain.

10 Jul 2010
First great Catalan autonomy protest

On 10 July 2010, a Catalan protest was carried out in Barcelona protesting against "limitations of the autonomy of Catalonia within Spain". The protest was also against the Spanish Constitutional Court's decision to annul several articles of the 2006 Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia. Almost 1.1 million people attended the protest. Several Catalan nationalists living in London, Berlin, and Brussels carried out similar protests.

Definition
What was the Statute of Autonomy Catalonia?

The Statute of Autonomy Catalonia was approved by Catalan voters in a 2006 referendum which "gave greater powers to the regional parliament in taxation and judicial matters."

11 Sep 2012
Catalan independence demonstration re-opens referendum debate

On 11 September 2012, Catalan independence demonstration took place in Barcelona during the National Day of Catalonia. The protestors demanded the independence of their nation and its federation as a sovereign state. As a result of the protest, Catalan referendum debate was reopened and snap elections announced for the Parliament of Catalonia to be held on November 25.

25 Mar 2014
Catalonian Declaration of Sovereignty declared 'void and unconstitutional'

On 23 January 2013, the Catalonian Parliament adopted the Declaration of Sovereignty and of the Right to Decide of the Catalan People. This allowed the Catalonian people to decide their political future. However, on 8 May 2013 the declaration was provisionally suspended by the Constitutional Court of Spain. It was later declared unconstitutional and void by the same court on 25 March 2014.

14 Oct 2014
Catalan referendum calls snubbed by Spanish court

The Catalonian President Mas on 19 September 2014 called for a referendum on independence which was to be held on 9 November 2014; however the Spanish government with the help of the Court suspended it. On 14 October, he proposed a "process of citizen participation" which was again suspended. The Spanish government argued that there was no decree for a state to break away.
