CATALONIA
The "smell of defeat - or worse, of embarrassment” has permeated the
corridors of Spanish government according to Eurointelligence, one of
the most respected information and analysis services in Brussels.
In its latest bulletin, the information service asserts that the
Spanish executive has been forced to resort to “the last trick in the
book” to prevent Carles Puigdemont from being the candidate for Catalan
presidency at next Tuesday's investiture session in the Parliament of
Catalonia.
