Cataluña Elections

Cataluña is a rebellious area in Spain who denies their relationship with Spain. They speak another language and eat completely different foods. Apart from differing cultures, Spain has fought to maintain Cataluña under it's wing for many many years. Turns out, Barcelona is the capital of Cataluña, and Madrid is the capital of Spain.What's more, Cataluña will have Parliamentary elections on the Saturday, November 20, the same day as The Classic Game (Real Madrid vs. Barcelona)! The LFP (Liga Futbol Professional) wants avoid at all costs for this soccer match to turn into a political battlefield. You see! Soccer is a political event as well. To avoid any real manifestations of violence, the LFP has decided to move the soccer game to Monday, November 23 at 3:00 ET. Prepare for a legendary match up!
