Corruption, separatism and mass tourism – experts debate Spain’s most pressing issues

Is Spain’s unity under threat? Could a new amnesty law on Catalan independence pave the way for regions to breakaway from the kingdom? Spain is also facing complaints about corruption, a critical water shortage and a growing inequality between the old and the young. Jonny Dymond asks Spanish people how they see the future of their country.

On the panel: 
Juan Fernando López Aguilar, MEP for the Socialist party which leads the government. 
Javier Zarzalejos, MEP from the People’s Party.   
Alfred Bosch,  writer, historian and a long term member of the pro Catalan independence party Esquerra Republicana.  
Gabriela Bustelo, writer and political columnist.  

Producer: Steven Williams
