Catalonia’s separatist parties look set to maintain their majority in the regional parliament, according to projections from Spanish state TV RTVE. Forecasts from late on Sunday showed the pro-independence parties are led this time by the liberal-conservative Together for Catalonia (Junts) party of former regional president Carles Puigdemont, who lives in exile. Although the Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSC) led by top candidate Salvador Illa came in first, with 37 to 40 seats, it is likely to have missed out on an absolute majority of 68 lawmakers.
