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.

Spain goes to the polls for the fourth time in four yearsCould it be fourth time lucky for Spain? Polling suggests no obvious path out of political deadlock Let's hope so. current idea about democracy how it must to be does not include a simple thing a subject of sovereignity. bloody subject of dominance of whole nation linked hard with whole territory. sometimes it is an issue of surviving for whole state. it always includes whole nation interest. There will be no calm in Spain until they let us go. Catalans have decided that enough is enough. We will not surrender.
