TEHRAN, May 22 - Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Barcelona on Monday to protest Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's decision to maintain central government control over Catalonia.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Protesters chanted and held banners reading 'republic is freedom.' "We aren't on a democracy any more. Democracy is to enjoy the freedom of expression, freedom of manifestation, the freedom of opinion," spokesperson of Coordinadora d'Advocats Jordi Domingo said.
Article 155 of the Spanish constitution, which was imposed by Madrid, establishes direct control of the central government over Catalonia.
