Spanish Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz were reportedly trapped inside a Malaga hotel by anti-separatist protesters on Friday night.<\/p>\n
S\u00e1nchez, the country’s acting Prime Minister, is set to remain in power after striking a deal with a Catalan separatist party. It would secure his party another four years in power.<\/p>\n
Spain’s Popular Party won the July elections but were unable to successfully form a majority. The deal with separatists now means the Socialists and S\u00e1nchez would have the required numbers.<\/p>\n
It has sparked anger from the right leading to anti-separatist protests breaking out in Madrid and other major cities across Spain. The Popular Party said S\u00e1nchez had written a “blank cheque for the independence movement”, reports the BBC.<\/p>\n
