Catalan President will push for split from Spain

Catalan President Quim Torra vowed on Tuesday to keep pushing for the region to split from Spain, rebuffing Madrid’s offer to hold a vote on giving the region more autonomy.

“We will never give up on our right to self-determination,” Torra said in a speech in Barcelona, adding that the only solution to the long-standing conflict would be an “agreed, binding and internationally-recognized referendum” on secession.
