2-Mar-18 TV News: 'Puigdemont succession sparks controversy'

Puigdemont has abandoned his bid to reclaim the presidency of Catalonia. At least, for the moment. He said his successor should be Jordi Sànchez, an activist and party colleague.

We also explain how Puigdemont is taking Spain to the United Nations human rights committee. We also bring you the latest on unemployment figures, housing policies, and Catalonia’s black music festival. / ACN
