School teacher Jorgina Fontboter points to a blackboard with words in Catalan and in Spanish during a language class at a public school in El Masnou, near Barcelona, December 14, 2012. The wealthy northeastern region of Catalonia last month dropped plans for a non-binding referendum on independence from Spain on Nov. 9 after a court declared such a vote against the constitution and had instead planned to hold a "consultation of citizens" on the same day. Although Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and politicians in Catalonia have called for dialogue over the region's status after the initial referendum plans were abandoned, tensions are still simmering before the Nov. 9 alternative vote.
