Spain holds its fourth general election in as many years amid renewed tensions over Catalonia’s separatist movement
Less than a month ago, Spain's Supreme Court sentenced nine Catalan separatist leaders to lengthy jail terms over their role in a failed 2017 independence bid.
More than 600 people were injured in the protests, which saw demonstrators torching barricades and throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at police. During a TV election debate PP leader Pablo Casado called for a "real government that will put order in Catalonia"."Drastic solutions are needed," he said during his final campaign rally on Friday night in Madrid.
"Spain needs a progressive government that puts the brakes on far-right and a government that puts the brakes on the extremists also here in Catalonia, who are the separatists," he said during his final campaign rally in Barcelona on Friday.
