On September 13, 2009, the municipality held a symbolic referendum on self-determination and independence for Catalonia. The participation rate was 41%. Over 96% of participating voters cast ballots in favour of independence. The referendum gave inertia to a movement for similar consultations to be held in other municipalities across Catalonia, including a co-ordinated vote in multiple municipalities, which was held a week later, on December 13.Demography
