Catalonia Votes: 135 Seats Up for Grabs in Key Regional Election

May 12, 2024, 10:20 AM

Catalonia is gearing up for a pivotal regional election on Sunday, which is seen as a critical test for both the separatist movement and the stability of Spain's Socialist-led government. The election could potentially return an exiled separatist leader to power, which would challenge the anti-independence stance of the current government led by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. This election is significant as it will determine the future political landscape of the wealthy northeastern region and its relations with the rest of Spain. A total of 135 members will be elected through proportional representation.
