Spain’s prime minister has clinched agreement with Catalan separatists, officials said on Thursday, in a deal that will enable him to remain in power but that has raised tensions and sparked protests in the country.

    PSOE has done a coalition with multiple parties including the catalan seperatists and bildu which contains members formerly a part of ETA instead of with PP, because if they do a coalition with PP then Sanchez wouldn’t be the president. Besides, I don’t think Junts per fucking Catalunya is representative of the Spanish?

      And the PP founders ( formerly alianza popular) were all ministers of the previously regime (fascists dictatorship). And yes, JUNTS and ERC are representative of Catalonia, equal PNV and EH bildu for Basque country.

        They are more representative for the spanish people than junts or pnv or eh bildu ever will be, for better or for worse.

          Except for, you know, the fact that Spaniards voted for them.

              Because in the majorities of regions of Spain there is only PP, PSOE, VOX or SUMAR. The more parties and options the better, they will have to make more effort to reach agreements and the more fair and representative they will be. What you advocate for absolute majorities of a single party is like a 4-year dictatorship.
