Madrid Stuck in the Past with Idea of Unity above All Else – Catalan MEP

Hundreds of thousands took to the streets of Barcelona, protesting the apparent desire of the Catalan government to create an independent state.

Is the drive for independence strong enough to overcome all the obstacles? We ask Josep-Maria Terricabras, member of the European Parliament for the Republican Left party of Catalonia.
