15-Jan-19 TV News in 100 Seconds: ‘King Felipe, Rajoy, Puigdemont: proposed trial witnesses’

Spain's King Felipe, former Spanish president Mariano Rajoy and Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont are some of the witnesses proposed by the defendants in the independence trial. Catalonia's former interior minister denies giving political instructions to the police. Meanwhile, two Catalan senior ministers will meet Spain's vice president on Thursday. Their proposal: launching negotiations over Catalonia to consider passing the Spanish budget. Madrid already rejected this, but pro-independence parties insist they want steps towards self-determination in exchange for their votes. / ACN
