Catalans weigh up possible outcomes of Sunday's poll and its impact on the independence movement.
Carles Puigdemont, who fled Catalonia after leading a breakaway independence vote in 2017, appears at rallies remotelyUnder the heat of the Barcelona sun, a pro-independence party, Together for Catalonia, is holding a campaign event ahead of Sunday's general election in Spain.
The Spanish authorities responded to that bid by clamping down with police action and temporarily imposing direct rule in the region, while Mr Puigdemont fled to Belgium, where he has remained ever since. With that aim in mind, his administration pardoned nine politicians who had been jailed for their role in the 2017 independence bid.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the PP's candidate for prime minister, warned that Mr Sánchez has "made Spain a hostage of those who want to break the territorial unity of our country", a message many voters seem to endorse.
