The former Minister of Economy, Jaume Giró, and the president of the Parliament, Anna Erra, play table soccer while waiting for the results during the monitoring of the Catalan autonomic election day, at Jean Carrère Space, on May 12, 2024, in Argelès (France). Nearly six million Catalans have been called to the polls today, May 12, to elect their new autonomous president for the next four years. There are 135 seats at stake, in what will be the XIV legislature of Catalonia, so the candidates of the different parties must reach an absolute majority of 68 seats to win the Presidency. 12 MAY 2024 Glòria Sánchez / Europa Press 05/12/2024 (Europa Press via AP)
