A Catalan mayor was detained by police in Spain early Thursday morning after refusing to remove the region’s unofficial separatist flag -- the estelada -- from the local town hall.
Montserrat Venturos is the mayor of Berga, Barcelona, in the north-eastern region of Spain, close to the French border. She belongs to the far-left, separatist Candidatura d'Unitat Popular (CUP) Party.
Police arrested her at home for refusing to testify in court as part of an investigation into electoral fraud.
The investigation began after she refused to remove the estelada flag from the town hall during regional and national elections.
