All this was because they wouldn't let us put ballots in ballot boxes so we have no other choice but to protest this way."

  STORYLINE: 

  Activists advocating for Catalan secession are blocking major highways, train lines and avenues across the northeastern region, one year after a banned referendum crushed by police failed to deliver an independent state.

  Monday's protests have been called on online messaging apps by the Committees for the Defence of the Republic, local activist groups that emerged after the Oct. 1, 2017 unauthorised vote.

  In Girona, hundreds of activists occupied in the early morning the high-speed railway tracks in the Girona station, north of Barcelona, while regional police tried to stop more protesters from entering the facilities.

  Local media also reported road blockages in the AP-7 highway, the main artery along eastern Catalonia leading to the French border, and in central streets of the cities of Lleida and Barcelona, the regional capital.
