Protesters gather in the city centre to demonstrate against the Spanish federal government's move to suspend Catalonian autonomy on October 21, 2017 in Barcelona, Spain. The Spanish government announced measures today it will implement in triggering Article 155, which would lead to the imposition of direct rule by Spanish authorities in Catalonia and at least temporarily suspend the region's autonomy. The government also plans to hold Catalan regional elections in January. The moves come after Catalan regional President Carles Puigdemont let a Thursday deadline pass and threatened to go forward with Catalan independence. (Photo by Jack Taylor/Getty Images)
