加泰羅尼亞新議會首次開會
The parliament in Spain's Catalonia region is set to meet for the first time Wednesday since the country's central government dissolved the body and ordered new elections in response to an independence referendum.
Pro-independence parties together have a narrow majority in the new body, but lawmakers will need to form a government and pick their leadership.
Ahead of Wednesday's session, two separatist parties reached an agreement to support former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont as a candidate to again take that role.
Puigdemont led the push for the referendum on Catalonia seceding from Spain, which was supported by the majority of people who voted. After the government in Madrid dissolved the parliament and suspended the region's autonomy, Puigdemont fled to Brussels. He faces arrest if he returns to Spain.
Spain's prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, says Puigdemont cannot act as Catalan president while in exile, and that if he is chosen then the suspension of Catalonia's autonomy will remain in effect.自從西班牙政府對獨立公投做出反應，解散了加泰羅尼亞議會並下令舉行新選舉以來，加泰羅尼亞地區的議會星期三第一次開會。
主張獨立的各政黨在新議會中佔據微弱多數，但議會要組建政府，並選出議會領導人。
議會星期三開會之前，兩個主張獨立的政黨達成協議，支持前加泰羅尼亞領導人普伊格蒙特（Carles Puigdemont）作爲再次擔任這個職務的候選人。
普伊格蒙特領導了推動脫離西班牙的獨立公投運動。參加投票的選民中大多數人主張獨立。馬德里政府解散議會並暫時取消了加泰羅尼亞地區的自治之後，普伊格蒙特逃到布魯塞爾。他如果返回西班牙會面臨逮捕。
西班牙首相拉霍伊說，普伊格蒙特在流亡期間不能擔任加泰羅尼亞領導人，如果他被再次選爲領導人，那麼暫停加泰羅尼亞自治的決定將繼續有效。
