Catalan separatists look set to win regional election
More confrontation with Madrid government expected
Thursday, 21st December 2017
Most seats in Catalonia's new regional parliament will be won by separatist parties, as 95% of the votes have been confirmed.
But to complicated the country's delicate political picture, the Citizens party – which wants the region to remain part of Spain – looks set to be the biggest single party.
This is likely to lead to conflict over who can form the next government.
Turnout was a record for a Catalan election, with the figure at least 80%.
The Madrid government stripped Catalonia of its autonomy and called the election after declaring an October independence referendum illegal.
