6-Mar-18 TV News: ‘Parliament session to swear in president called for Monday’

Activist Jordi Sànchez has been in jail for almost five months. Yet, pro-independence parties have agreed to appoint him as the head of the Catalan government. The parliament session to elect him is set for Monday, next week. But will he be able to effectively assume office? That depends on the Spanish justice. It also depends on the far-left CUP party and its four MPs. Considering what each of them expects from Sànchez and from pro-independence parties, the success of this election is far from assured. Catalan News also takes you into new recycling initiatives, a musical festival in the countryside, and the relationship between Barcelona and one of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century. / ACN
