POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN SPAIN: Catalan Politician, Founder of Conservative Vox Party, Is Shot in the Face in Madrid
Political violence in Spain is making headlines once again, as the deadlocked parliamentary election results leave the country without an elected government.
The socialists are trying to attract the Catalan separatists as a last resort to try to form a coalition to govern, promising in turn to release members of their movement from prison.
But now, an assassination attempt of a Catalan leader may put Spain on the road to further political turbulence.
The former head of Spain’s People’s Party in the Catalonia region, and one of the founders of the conservative ‘Vox’ party, was shot in the face today (9). Vidal-Quadras is said to oppose the socialist plan to form a new government.
