Catalan Party to Withdraw Support from Spanish Government
Imagine Spain's government as a team trying to pass laws.
They've been getting help from a smaller team called Junts.
Junts agreed to support the government in exchange for certain promises.
Recently, Junts' leaders said they're taking their support back because they feel the government didn't keep its word.
This makes it harder for the government to pass new laws.
One of the main reasons for this decision involves former Catalan leader, Carles Puigdemont, as well as unfulfilled promises regarding Catalan language and immigration.
Junts, a Catalan regional party, decided to withdraw support from Spain's leftist government.
The move complicates the government's ability to pass legislation.
The decision followed a meeting where Junts' leadership discussed broken promises.
Junts had previously supported the government in exchange for concessions, including an amnesty.
Disagreements include Puigdemont's case and unmet demands regarding language and immigration.
