TOPSHOT - People demonstrate during a strike day in Barcelona on February 21, 2019, against the trial of former Catalan separatist leaders held in Madrid. - Activists blocked roads and rail lines in Catalonia today as a region-wide strike began against the trial of separatist leaders for their role in a failed 2017 secession attempt. Called by a small pro-independence union, Intersindical CSC, but without the backing of larger unions, the one-day strike was not widely followed in the northeastern region although it generated several protests.
