National Day of Catalonia Celebrations

BARCELONA, SPAIN - SEPTEMBER 10: (L-R) The President of the Parliamnet of Catalonia Nuria De Gispert, the Catalan President, Artur Mas and Barcelona's mayor Xavier Trias hold a flower offering at Fossar de les Moreres on September 10, 2014 in Barcelona, Spain. For the first time, a Catalan President holds homage where defenders of Barcelona were buried following the siege of Barcelona at the end of the War of Succession in 1714. More than 53 demonstrations are planned for tomorrow celebrating the Catalonia Day. Pro-Independence political parties and supporters hope to use it as a showcase for the upcoming weeks to call a self-determination referendum for next November 9. (Photo by David Ramos/Getty Images)
