Crunch day for Spain as Catalonia returns to work under direct rule
Madrid’s resolve faces crucial test as Catalan independence group calls for widespread campaign of civil disobedience
Spain’s control over Catalonia will be tested on Monday when politicians and civil servants return to work amid uncertainty over whether they will accept direct rule imposed by the central government to stop the region’s independence bid.
On Sunday, the Spanish government said the deposed Catalan president, Carles Puigdemont, could be jailed within the next two months over his part in the regional parliament’s unilateral declaration of independence.
