Catalan vote: 'An expression of urgency'
Catalan President Quim Torra recently threatened to withdraw his party’s support for the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in a move that would see him lose his majority.
Ernest Maragall the Minister of Foreign Action in the Catalan region told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur the threat "was an expression of urgency".
His comments come a year after Catalonia voted for independence in a referendum deemed to be illegal by the Spanish courts.
