Spain's Million man march: Pro-union protesters take to the streets of Barcelona demanding imprisonment of Catalania's deposed president

According to organisers, more than a million unionist protesters marched through central Barcelona today to resoundingly reject Catalonia's declaration of independence. The crowds, draped in thousands of Spanish flags and singing 'Viva España', chanted that Carles Puigdemont, the sacked Catalan leader, should be sent to prison for declaring independence. Protesters also shouted obscenities about Catalan journalists, who they accuse of twisting the facts and selling fake news. Thousands were chanting, 'this time we are going to vote,' declaring their intention to make their presence felt at the ballot box on 21 December rather than boycott the poll, as they did during the October 1 referendum. Catalan independence parties appear to be losing their parliamentary majority ahead of December's election, according to a poll published this morning.
