Naked ambition - Catalonia

Preface

Politician Albert Rivera believes that Catalan nationalism has gone too far and now threatens to isolate the miracle region fuelled by Barcelona. Crushed by Franco, Catalonia regained partial autonomy in 1979. Last year its government presented a new Statute for Autonomy to the Spanish parliament. It caused uproar by terming Catalonia a nation.
