Catalonia's regional parliament passed a law Wednesday paving the way for an independence referendum on October 1 which is fiercely opposed by Madrid, setting a course for Spain's deepest political crises in decades.
The law was adopted with 72 votes in favour and 11 abstentions. Lawmakers who oppose independence for the wealthy northeastern region of Spain abandoned the chamber before the vote.
