Catalan support for independence from Spain fell to the lowest level since June 2012, as the region’s president, Artur Mas, tries to pull together a broad pro-secession alliance to run in an early regional election.
A survey released today by the Catalan executive’s pollster Centre d’Estudis d’Opinio showed 36 percent of voters want to see Catalonia become an independent state compared with 45 percent in October. Support for independence had been above 44 percent since October 2012.
