Catalonia’s parliament nominated former leader Carles Puigdemont, sacked by Spain for unilaterally declaring independence, as candidate to rule the region again in a sign of defiance to Madrid and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy‘s government.

Madrid, has however, rejected this possibility and said it will challenge any attempt by him to rule remotely in the courts.
