23-Oct-17 TV News: ‘A decisive week begins’

It's going to be a decisive week in Catalonia. The full collision between the Spanish and the Catalan governments is underway. Madrid intends to sack the full Catalan executive, dissolve parliament, and take control of public media and police. Meanwhile, leaders here in Barcelona warn that they will not accept any other authority than that of the people, the citizens. The Spanish Senate has to vote on the control measures by the end of the week, when a crucial Catalan parliament plenary session has also been scheduled. Will independence be declared?
