MADRID (Reuters) - Catalonia's two main parties on Wednesday agreed to hold early elections in the northeastern Spanish region, the head of the regional government Artur Mas told a news conference, a vote they want to use as a proxy for a referendum on independence.
Catalan newspaper La Vanguardia said the vote would take place on September 27, a date which Mas later confirmed.
