Thousands of Catalans have joined protests against Spain's Constitutional Court after it suspended a proposed regional independence referendum.
About 5,000 people took to the streets of the regional capital Barcelona to demand their right to vote on Tuesday.
Earlier, the Catalan government said it was halting its publicity campaign for the referendum while it sought to overturn the court's ruling.
The vote was suspended after a request from the Spanish central government.
The court said it needed time to consider arguments about whether the 9 November vote breached the country's constitution.
While the court studies the appeals, all campaigning must stop until it makes a ruling.
The Catalan regional government said it would stop publicity but insisted it would try to overturn the suspension.
Francesc Homs, a Catalan government spokesman, said they were "determined" the vote would go ahead.
The Catalan National Assembly, an influential group lobbying for independence, was behind the protests in a rainy Barcelona on Tuesday night.
"Not rain nor snow nor any court will stop us," Carme Forcadell, the group's leader, told reporters. "On November 9 we will vote and we will win."
