Tens of thousands of far right protesters are rallying in Madrid today to call on Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to stand down amidst government talks with Catalan separatists.

Protesters say the government is betraying Spain by discussing the Catalonian referendum for independence, despite its public comments condemning the failed bid.

12 separatists leaders face a landmark trial this week, standing accused of provoking Spain’s worst political crisis since it returned to democracy.
