Barcelona – CATALUNYA 1 Octubre 2017

The day before the referendum the school management didn't want to open. However, a large crowd gathered in front of the centre and, finally, it opens.

The afternoon before the school is closed. A Quebec TV station records it.

The people ask that the doors be opened.

Catalan protest song "L'Estaca" is sung in front of the school the night before.

The queues are so long that they reach those of the neighboring electoral centre.
