Protesters demonstrate in Madrid against the proposed law. The bill is expected to be passed in the next few days.
It is the second attempt to pass the bill after the first failed in January. The opposition wants to challenge the law in the Supreme Court. The law would not apply to Catalonia, which declared independence from Spain in 2013. It would only apply to the rest of the country, not to the region as a whole. The Spanish government has said it will not back down from the law.
