VOICED : Separatistas catalanes refuerzan su mayoría en Parlamento regional

In the recent Catalan regional elections, separatist parties have reinforced their majority, despite the socialists being the most voted party. The independentist parties, including the moderate Esquerra Republicana, Juntos por Cataluña, and the radical CUP, increased their seats and could form a coalition government if they overcome past differences. The far-right party Vox entered the local legislature for the first time, surpassing other national right-wing parties. The elections were significantly impacted by the pandemic, leading to a low voter turnout, with participation dropping below 60%, 20 points less than in 2017.
