BARCELONA, Spain — More than a million people gathered Saturday in northeastern Barcelona to demand greater regional autonomy for Catalonia and protest a recent court ruling forbidding this prosperous region from calling itself a nation.
City government spokesman Manuel Campillo said police had counted 1.1 million people at a rally that filled Barcelona’s major Gran Via, Diagonal and Paseo de Gracia boulevards. The rally organizers, Omnium Cultural, calculated attendance at 1.5 million, spokesman Daniel Jove said.
