'Barcelona (Reuters) - Six people were arrested in Barcelona on Saturday as protesters for and against independence scuffled with police, two days before the first anniversary of a vote on secession that polarized the Spanish region. '
'Fourteen people received treatment for injuries sustained in the protests, all of them minor, local press reported. '
'Over several hours pro-independence groups chanting “Neither forgetting nor forgiveness” faced off with unionist protesters chanting “Long live Spain” ahead of a weekend of further demonstrations planned to mark last year’s vote. '
'According to Catalan authorities almost 1000 people were injured last year after police tried to stop voting at polling stations across the region. '
