Quim Torra new leader Catalonia
The Catalan parliament has chosen a new regional prime minister.
Puigdemont, who is not allowed to leave Germany, had put Torra forward last week as a candidate for premiership. The politician failed two votes on Saturday in the 135-seat regional parliament, but at the second round on Monday the threshold was lower. As a result, he could still be elected prime minister.
