Spain's Barcelona bracing for fresh violence as separatists call for new demonstration
Catalonia's pro-independence regional chief Quim Torra called for talks with Spain's central government on Saturday to try to defuse unrest triggered by the jailing of separatist leaders.
Radical youth group Arran called for a fresh demonstration at 6 pm against "police violence" and to call for the "freedom of all political prisoners". Torra, who earlier this week said Catalonia should hold a new vote on independence within two years said on Saturday the will of the people would be respected: "We will go as far as the people of Catalonia want to go".
