Separatists protest over Spanish royals’ visit to Catalonia

Spain Catalonia Royal Visit

Hundreds of Catalan independence supporters have protested over a visit by King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia to the region, during a royal tour across Spain meant to boost morale during the coronavirus pandemic.

The visit came amid mounting media reports accusing the king’s father, former monarch Juan Carlos I, of allegedly hiding millions of untaxed euros in offshore funds.
