TEHRAN, June 01 - Catalonia is set to regain its self-government on Saturday, ending a seven-month takeover by central authorities following a bid by separatist leaders to secede from Spain.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The Catalan government said members of new regional president Quim Torra's administration will be sworn in Saturday. That will mark the end of special controls from Madrid that were imposed on the northeastern region after separatists passed a unilateral declaration of independence in October.
Torra, a fervent separatist, also announced that his government had sued Mariano Rajoy —who on Friday was ousted as prime minister— and his deputy, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, for abuse of power over their blocking of an earlier Cabinet proposal.
Torra's first proposal included politicians under investigation in pre-trial imprisonment or fighting extradition to Spain from Belgium. The central government approved his second list before Rajoy was ousted.
