Catalonia’s parliament pressed its case for secession from Spain on Tuesday, two days after a national election, while separatist protesters blocked one of the region’s major highways and also disrupted traffic in the Basque Country, AzVision.az reports quoting Reuters.
Protesters blocked the AP-7 highway in both directions around the secessionist Catalan stronghold of Girona.
Earlier, French riot police had used tear gas to clear protesters at the border who were blocking the AP-7 highway that links France and Spain. They arrested 18 people at the La Jonquera border crossing and Catalan police arrested one person, officials said.
