Catalonia to Hold Unofficial Poll on Independence from Spain 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
The leader of Spain's Catalonia region has canceled a referendum on
independence next month, but vowed to press ahead with an unofficial
poll. The announcement comes after Spain's constitutional court
suspended the referendum two weeks ago. Hundreds of thousands of
Catalans flooded the streets of Barcelona last month to call for the
vote.
