Artur Mas: How a technocrat became a martyr for Catalan independence

Artur Mas: How a technocrat became a martyr for Catalan independence - The Local: 

President of Catalonia from 2010 to 2016 when he was forced out, Mas stood trial Monday along with two former members of his government, accused of serious civil disobedience and misconduct for organising a symbolic, non-binding referendum in 2014 despite a court ban.
A hero to some Catalan nationalists and an unscrupulous fraud to their opponents, Mas was once described by centre-right Spanish newspaper El Mundo as "the technocrat who turned into the Catalan Odysseus."
