I think Catalonia will be independent because all the world has seen what happened yesterday with all the Guardia Civil. Catalan people only want to decide our future. The Guardia Civil came with weapons and a lot of violence. I don't undersantd, if this referendum was ilegal why they came and tryed to close the "col·legis electorals"? I'm proud about catalan people because in a lot of videos you can see the Guardia Civil hitting them and the catalan people only put her arms up. 

The constitutional court banned the vote and almost 900 people were hurt as police tried to stop it going ahead.

More than 2.2 million people were reported to have voted, according to Catalan authorities, out of 5.3 million registered voters. Just under 90% of those who voted backed independence, they said.

In Girona, riot police smashed their way into a polling station where Mr Puigdemont was due to vote, and forcibly removed those inside. He voted at another station.

Large crowds of independence supporters gathered in the centre of the regional capital Barcelona on Sunday evening, waving flags and singing the Catalan anthem. Anti-independence protesters have also held rallies in Barcelona and other Spanish cities.
