Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Thursday his government would take legal action after Catalonias parliament voted for a resolution condemning King Felipe VI and calling for the monarchy to be abolished.
Separatist parties and the left-wing, anti-independence En Comu Podem ("Together we Can") party joined forces to vote for the resolution which condemned the monarch's "intervention in the Catalan conflict" and called for "the abolition of an outdated and undemocratic institution like the monarchy."
