‘There’s no alternative,’ says Rajoy in his defense of the enforcement of Article 155 in the Senate

Spanish Senate’s plenary session is underway. Senators are expected to ratify measures designated by the Spanish government to take control over Catalonia’s self-rule and Rajoy has already made a speech in order to convince them to do so. His party, the People’s Party, has a majority in the Spanish upper chamber. “There is no alternative” to Article 155 enforcement, Rajoy said to lawmakers.
