The political situation in Catalonia will be extremely tense in the weeks ahead, following Sunday's victory (27 September) by separatists Junt pel Sì. EurActiv Spain reports.
Center-right Ciudadanos came in a resounding second. The Socialists of PSOE were third (with 16 seats) and the Partido Popular (PP) came fourth, with 11 seats, a severe blow when compared with the 2012 regional elections, when they obtained 19 seats.
