Parliament urges president Torra to face a confidence vote or call a snap election

The Catalan parliament has passed a motion urging president Quim Torra to "face a confidence vote immediately or call a snap election.”

Despite growing criticism from the opposition, the pro-independence leader has already ruled out both calling fresh polls and a vote of confidence on his government.

The motion, put forward by the Socialists, was approved by a narrow margin of 62 votes in favor and 61 against.
