Puigdemont’s candidate failed in Catalan Parliament

Quim Torrea, the candidate for the Catalan presidency who had been proposed by Carles Puigdemont, failed to win the absolute majority of the Catalan Parliament. But at the next Parliamentarian vote on Monday he will need only majority which shouldn’t be a problem. As Mr. Puigdemont can’t come to Spain because of the Spanish international arrest warrant he had proposed Mr. Torrea as a candidate.
