'Spain ungovernable until solution found for Catalonia,' says government
Catalan government accuses Spanish president of "abandoning" dialogue and "giving in to pressure from the far-right"
The Catalan government has warned that Spain will remain ungovernable until a "political solution" is found for Catalonia.
Catalan spokesperson Elsa Artadi reacted to the decision by the Spanish president Pedro Sánchez to call a snap election for April 28, after pro-independence parties rejected his budget in Congress.
"It'll be impossible to rule Spain until they face the political problem in Catalonia," said Artadi, who accused Sánchez of "abandoning dialogue" and "giving in to pressure from the far-right."
