Spain's Sánchez secures power deal with Catalan separatists prompting anger

Spain's acting prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has agreed a controversial amnesty deal with a Catalan separatist party that brings him a step closer to four more years in government.

The Socialist leader came second in July's general elections, but the conservative Popular Party who won were unable to form a majority.

As part of a deal to clinch another term in office, Mr Sánchez has promised to pass an amnesty law.

The plan has prompted widespread anger.
