Catalan separatists regain majority in regional election
Catalonia's secessionist forces won enough votes to form a slim majority in the 135 seat regional parliament, led by Junts per Catalunya and ERC with CUP. The pro-unity Ciutadans won 37 seats, while Puigdemont campaigned from Belgium amid a probe and arrest warrant. The election, held after Spain ousted the Catalan government, leaves questions about next steps in the independence push.
