¿Qué? podcast, episode seven: Trial of Catalan separatist leaders
In the latest episode of our new audio series, journalists from the English Edition try to break down the charges facing 12 pro-independence defendants in the Supreme Court
This week on our podcast, we tried to explain the very complex Supreme Court trial against Catalan separatist leaders, who are facing a range of charges for their involvement in the illegal independence referendum on October 1, 2017, and the unilateral declaration of independence that was passed weeks later in the regional parliament. We looked at what’s at stake for the Spanish justice system and why the case has been described as the most important in Spanish history.
And on a completely different topic, we discussed Spanish eating and lifestyle habits after the Bloomberg index ranked Spain as the healthiest country in the world.
