A judge in Madrid was set Friday to issue an EU arrest warrant for Catalonia's deposed leader over his region's tumultuous independence drive, in a move likely to take tensions to a new level in Spain's worst political crisis in decades.
The
warrant for Carles Puigdemont, who is holed up in Belgium, was expected
a day after a Spanish judge threw other leading figures in Catalonia's
secession push in jail pending possible trial.
Students
briefly blocked roads and a railway line in Catalonia as demonstrators
geared up for more protests after tens of thousands took to the streets
on Thursday waving Catalan flags and chanting in anger over the
detentions.
