Spain's leftists seem unlikely to open up greater political space for Catalan nationalists
Catalonia’s ongoing push for separatism is causing uncertainty in Spain’s political future as the battered left-wing attempts to hobble together a ruling coalition.
Many saw it as a positive move to “unblock” Spain’s longstanding political deadlock. But for many in Catalonia, the agreement looks to promise a continuation of the status quo. The Spanish Constitution guarantees the autonomy of each of the 17 regions, along with the two cities of Ceuta and Melilla inside Morocco.
Catalonia then declared independence from Spain, based on the results of the referendum, which saw roughly 90 percent vote in favour though less than 50 percent participated.
