Thousands of supporters of Spanish unity marched through the streets of Barcelona, a day after mass protests by Catalan separatists
Demonstrators hold placards reading"together we are stronger","a few people can not speak for everyone" during a demonstration called by the anti-separatists organisation"Societat Civil Catalana" , in Barcelona, on October 27, 2019.
Police said Sunday's peaceful rally drew 80,000 while organisers Societat Civil Catalana, a pro-unity umbrella group, put the turnout at 400,000. Pro-independence regional government head Quim Torra should step down "if he can't govern for all Catalans", local newspaper La Vanguardia quoted Sanchez Costa as saying.
Independence is highly divisive in Catalonia, with a poll in July showing 44 percent backing secession and 48.3 percent against it.
