加泰羅尼亞分離派政黨在選舉中獲勝
Pro-independence parties have won an absolute majority in elections in the Spanish region of Catalonia, dealing a blow to the Spanish government under Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
The election was called after Madrid sacked the Catalan government and arrested many secessionist leaders, after they tried to declare independence following a disputed referendum in October.
Independence supporters gathered to celebrate the results Thursday night, as it became clear that the three pro-secessionist parties kept their overall majority by two seats.
Prime Minister Rajoy had called on Catalan voters to restore political normality. Instead, they overwhelmingly rejected his Popular Party, which lost eight of its 11 seats.主張獨立的政黨在西班牙加泰羅尼亞地區的選舉中贏得佔絕對多數的席位，給拉霍伊首相的政府一個重大打擊。
這次選舉前，馬德里政府解散了加泰羅尼亞地區政府，逮捕了很多主張從西班牙獨立的政界領袖。今年10月舉行了有爭議的獨立全民公決之後，這些政界人士試圖宣佈加泰羅尼亞獨立。
隨着星期四晚上的投票結果看來主張獨立的政黨能獲得多兩個席位的多數之後，支持獨立的人士開始舉行慶祝選舉勝利的集會。
拉霍伊首相呼籲加泰羅尼亞選民恢復政治穩定。然而，大多數選民都沒有把票投給人民黨。人民黨從原來佔有的11席減少到3席。
