TOPSHOT - Students wave Catalan pro-independence 'Estelada' flags during a protest in front of the Generalitat Palace (Catalan government) in Barcelona on October 26, 2017. Thousands of students rallied in Barcelona today in support of Catalan independence and against plans by Spain's central government to curb the region's powers. The demonstrators carried red carnations and wore red and yellow Catalan independence flags tied around their necks and they made their way through the centre of the Catalan capital chanting: "occupation forces out!".
