election david figuerola

Its felt like a victory really for a coalition of Catalan pro independents parties. It succeeded in turning this election into a vote on whether this region should break away from Spain. And as the results came in, they claim to hit a mandate to set a path towards independence. The pro-independence movement here in Catalonia are painting this as a complete victory but it is not the win they wanted it looks like they they got a majority of seats on the Catalan parliament but not majority of votes. Then even have to team up with the small ant capitalist sandpartist party party to have a majority of seats. But Catalonia’s president painted an ambiguous result as a clear success.
