Catalan leader declines to appear before Spanish Senate

Catalonia’s separatist leader Carles Puigdemont will not appear before the Spanish Senate in Madrid to state his case for independence, a spokeswoman for the Catalan government says.

“He will not go on Thursday or on Friday,” the spokeswoman says, after the Senate suggested Puigdemont could appear at the upper house before it gives Madrid the green light to take over Catalonia’s regional powers.
