SPAIN-CATALONIA-MAS
Artur Mas, leader of the Convergencia i Unio party (L) gives a thumbs up outside the Spanish parliament as Catalan regional president Ernest Benach (not in pictures) arrives to register the demand for a new regional statute in Madrid, 05 October 2005. The Catalan regional parliament last week agreed to move toward a new statute demanding greater autonomy from Madrid, though the project requires an absolute majority in the national parliament prior to becoming law. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero said he would "not reject outright" a broader statute for the region, which notably calls Catalonia a nation in apparent contradiction with the Spanish constitution, but added that he could not accept it "as it is" either.
