Question

Q6. Catalonia recently seen in news is a region in:

• A. (a) Syria
• B. (b) Israel
• C. (c) Spain
• D. (d) Britain

Answer 1

The correct option is C

(c) Spain

Catalonia is one of Spain’s most prosperous regions and already has a high degree of autonomy. But it has a series of historic grievances, exacerbated during the 1939-1975 Franco dictatorship, when its culture and politics were suppressed.

Catalonia held an Independent referendum on Oct. 1, 2017 which was declared illegal by Madrid and marred by heavy-handed national police tactics to stop it.
