President forms government without jailed or exiled ministers

Catalan President Quim Torra has chosen a new administration without jailed or exiled former ministers who backed the Democratic Referendum push, in a latest attempt to form a government after being blocked by the Spanish government. The party ruling in Spain, PP, has only 4 out of 135 MPs in Catalonia. The PP, founded by seven Franco's Ministers, is facing his own difficulties following a court ruling on a long-running corruption case which fined the ruling Popular Party. A no-confidence vote in Rajoy is to be held in the Madrid parliament on Friday.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy had refused his earlier choice of ministers, saying pro-independence leaders currently in jail or in exile in other European countries would not be authorized. In response to Rajoy's letter, Torra changed his approach in order to form a government. A juridical advisory committee told him that his nominees — none of whom are in jail or in exile — should be able to assume their posts.
