UPDATED at 4:07 p.m. ET: BARCELONA, Spain-- Four separatist celebrations in Spain's Catalonia looked set to win a majority in regional elections on Sunday, partial results showed, however the main one was on course to lose some seats, possibly weakening its proposal to call an independence referendum. With half of votes counted, the ruling Convergence and Union alliance, or CiU, was winning 48 seats in the 135-seat neighborhood parliament, well down from its present 62 seats. The separatist Republican Left, or ERC, was winning 20 seats, with two various other smaller separatist celebrations taking a total amount of 16 seats, giving the 4 celebrations 60 percent in between them.
