Spanish member of the European Parliament Josep Borrell gives a speech during a demonstration called by «Societat Civil Catalana» (Catalan Civil Society) to support the unity of Spain on October 8, 2017 in Barcelona.
The demonstration comes as Catalonia’s separatist leaders have vowed to declare independence for the wealthy northeastern region of Spain following a banned secession referendum on October 1.
