It seems Catalonia is about to declare independence from Spain. The referendum received 90% voting in favor, and the King of Spain Felipe is not happy about it. 

[quote]On 3 October 2017, as huge protest rallies and a general strike took place in Catalonia following the 2017 Catalan independence referendum, HM The King delivered an unusually strongly worded televised address in which he condemned the actions of the referendum organizers for acting "outside the law", accusing them of "unacceptable disloyalty" and of "eroding the harmony and co-existence within Catalan society itself". He also warned the referendum could put the economy of the entire north-east region of Spain at risk.[57][58][59] Reactions to the King's speech were mixed. Party officials from the PP and Ciudadanos acclaimed the King's "commitment to legality",[60] whereas leaders from Unidos Podemos and Catalunya en Comú criticised it as "unworthy as irresponsible", paving the way for a harsh intervention of the Catalan autonomy.[61] As for the PSOE, its leaders showed their support to the King's words in public, but were unofficially upset that the King had not made any call to understanding or dialogue between both the Spanish and Catalan governments.[/quote]
