In a statement, he described the imposition of direct rule as the worst attack on Catalonia's institutions since the Franco dictatorship. Also: Andrej Babis and his ANO party have won a convincing victory in the Czech Republic's election, and why going faster on a Motorway could actually make us safer drivers.
