Catalonia : After the December 21 elections, won by the pro-independence parties, an intense January lies ahead. In the coming weeks, the new Parliament has to appoint its president and bureau, and soon afterwards, a new Catalan president for the next government. The candidate of the parties for a Catalan state is Carles Puigdemont, but he’s in Brussels and could be arrested as soon as he sets foot in Catalonia.
