The Catalonian region of Spain voted to break out of Spain in a referendum that was marred by violence.
The Sunday vote turnout was 43.3% with 90% vote backing a unilateral declaration of Independence according to the Carles Puigdemont Catalan leader.

About 800 persons were injured out of the 2.2 million voters from police as they stormed buildings, seizing ballot boxes.The violence from police has been widely condemned
