Rajoy questioned by Spanish parliament on Catalonia crisis
Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Wednesday answered questions in parliament on the crisis in Catalonia for the first time since his government applied direct rule over the region through Article 155 and called for regional elections on December 21.
Rajoy said direct rule over Catalonia was applied to restore legality and coexistence in the region after Catalonia's former President Carles Puigdemont and his government unilaterally declared independence in contravention of the Spanish Constitution.
On Tuesday, secessionist Catalan parties failed to agree on a united ticket to contest a December snap regional election, making it more difficult to rule the region after the vote and press ahead with their collective bid to split from Spain.
