Splintered Spain: Bitter divisions over Catalonia ahead of general election

It's a familiar drill for Spanish citizens. For the third time in four years, they're being asked to vote in a general election. And if you think four's a crowd, polls indicate the return next Sunday of the far-right after nearly four decades. The splintering of the political landscape began with the financial and real estate crisis a decade ago.

Produced by Alessandro XENOS, Selina SYKES and Ingri BERGO.
