Spain's Sanchez sees hold on power weaken

Madrid [Spain], October 28: The left-wing minority government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Spain is losing one of its allies in parliament, putting the future of his administration at risk.
The Junts party of Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont decided to cancel its support pact with Sanchez's Socialist Party (PSOE), Junts confirmed to DPA on Monday.
The party's 50-member board reached the decision at a meeting in Perpignan in France, state TV station RTVE and other media outlets reported. The board met in France, not Spain, because of outstanding arrest warrants for several members, including Puigdemont. The party base still has to approve the break with the government. However, this vote on Wednesday and Thursday is likely to confirm the decision. (DPA)
