<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">The move was triggered by the rejection in Congress of Sánchez’s 2019 budget, after Catalan pro-independence groups banded together with the opposition on the right. The legislative developments coincided with the beginning of the trial of 12 Catalan politicians and leaders who had spearheaded an October 2017 referendum on leaving Spain.</p><br />
