Catalan’s pro-independence parties agreed on a new leader that would create a regional government following the step-down of previous leader Artur Mas, who faced a political deadlock with Madrid over Catalan autonomy.
Carlos Puigdemot was selected to lead the Catalan region after months of disagreements between pro-dindpendence parties over whether Artur Mas should serve another term.
Puigdemot is seen as a politician that will take a firmer approach with Madrid whilst being able to bring all the Catalan parties together, reports Reuters.
The decision came after the Catalan far left party- CUP said it would not support the then acting regional head Artur Mas in another term,
