11-Jun-18 TV News: 'Spanish foreign minister remarks cause outrage'

Catalonia is on the verge of a civil confrontation. This is what the Spanish foreign minister said last night – remarks that have inflamed Catalan politics today.   Will the jailed leaders be transferred to prisons closer to home? This question is becoming an increasingly central subject of debate after the formation of new governments in Catalonia and Spain. Nine leaders have been behind bars for months, around 700km away from their families, who want to see them freed. But, if they are not granted liberty, the families hope to at least avoid 12-hour journeys for 40-minute visits. In our show today we’ll go into more details on this, and we’ll also tell you about the situation of seasonal workers who’ve come to Catalonia for the fruit picking season. / ACN
