The citizen participation process on the political future of Catalonia〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.9nconsulta2014.cat/ )〕 was a non-binding vote on the political future of Catalonia that was held by the Government of Catalonia on 9 November 2014. While also known as the Catalan independence referendum,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29390774 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://online.wsj.com/articles/catalan-leader-signs-decree-for-independence-referendum-1411809286 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/27/us-spain-catalonia-idUSKCN0HM09120140927 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rt.com/news/191164-catalonia-independence-referendum-november/ )〕 the vote was rebranded as a "participation process" by the Government of Catalonia, after a "non-referendum popular consultation" on the same topic and for the same date had been suspended by the Constitutional Court of Spain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www20.gencat.cat/portal/site/consulta/?newLang=en_GB )〕 The ballot consisted of two questions: "Do you want Catalonia to become a State?" and "Do you want this State to be independent?". The second question could only be answered by those who had answered Yes to the first one.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www20.gencat.cat/docs/consulta/Documents/Arxius/DECRET%20129_ENG.pdf ) Note: The "participation process" that replaced the "non-referendum consultation" maintained the same two questions.〕 The Catalan government indicated that 2,305,290 votes were cast overall, but did not provide a turnout percentage figure. Turnout estimates published by media outlets range between 37.0% 〔http://www.economist.com/blogs/charlemagne/2014/11/catalonias-independence-vote The Economist〕〔http://www.ucl.ac.uk/european-institute/highlights/2014-15/catalonia〕 and 41.6%. 80.8% of the cast votes supported the Yes-Yes option, 10.1% the Yes-No, 4.5% the No option. Minors and immigrants were allowed to vote, something that in a legal referendum would not have been possible. Holding a referendum about the "political future of Catalonia" in 2014 was one of the items of the governance agreement ratified by Artur Mas from Convergence and Union (CiU) and Oriol Junqueras from Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) on 18 December 2012,〔(Separatist Catalan Parties Announce Alliance ) The New York Times, 18 December 2012〕〔(Agreement in Catalonia on date of independence referendum ) Euronews, 19 December 2012〕〔(Catalonia referendum set for 2014 ) Financial Times, 19 December 2012〕 that allowed Artur Mas to be voted in as President of the Generalitat of Catalonia for a second term. On 19 September 2014, the Catalan parliament approved a call for a referendum on independence. Eight days later Artur Mas announced that the vote was to be held on 9 November 2014. The same day the Spanish government announced that it would block the effort by appealing to the Spanish Constitutional Court. The Spanish Constitutional Court decided to hear the Spanish government case on 29 September 2014, and provisionally suspended the vote.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spain higher court suspends Catalonia vote )〕 The Catalan Government subsequently announced the "temporary suspension" of the referendum campaign. On 14 October, Artur Mas proposed a "process of citizen participation" as an alternative for the original referendum. The Spanish government announced that it would also block this effort by appealing to the Spanish Constitutional Court, which decided to hear the Spanish government case on 4 November 2014, and provisionally suspended the vote. The Catalan Government, however, pushed forward with the vote in defiance of the Constitutional Court of Spain. ==History == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catalan self-determination referendum, 2014」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
