Bomb disposal officers spent some of this Monday examining the area outside the Catalan regional building ‘Generalitat Palace’ before a possible independence declaration by the Catalan parliament.
Spain fears Catalan parliament could declare independence as early as tomorrow when the regional government’s leader is due to speak to the assembly in the wake of a banned referendum of October the 1st.
The Catalan crisis has presented Spain with its biggest political challenge since becoming a democracy four decades ago as neither Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy nor Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont has showed signs of entering into talks.
