President Quim Torra should submit to a confidence motion in the parliament, because his government is "on death's door," according to the left-wing Catalunya en Comú party.

Party spokesman, Joan Mena, said on Monday that "without a budget and without support" Torra's government is "weak, incapable of governing and adrift" and "the last thing Catalonia needs right now."

According to Mena, the Spanish general election on April 28 offers Catalunya en Comú "an opportunity to build broad majorities with democratic Spain."
