Separatist parties are in danger of losing their decade-long hold of power in Spain's northeastern region of Catalonia.
Separatist parties are in danger of losing their decade-long hold of power in Spain's northeastern Catalonia region after the pro-union Socialist Party won the most votes in an election Sunday. The four pro-independence parties, led by the Together party of former regional President Carles Puigdemont, were set to get a total of 61 seats, according to a near-complete count of the ballots. That is short of the key figure of 68 seats needed for a majority in the chamber.
The Socialists win 'is due to many factors that will have to analyze, but one of those factors were the policies and leadership of the government of Spain and Pedro Sánchez,' Illa said. The Together party of Puigdemont restored its leadership of the separatist camp with 35 seats, up from 32 three years ago.
