MADRID (Reuters) - The Spanish king's traditional Christmas Eve address will not be aired on Catalonia's public television on Tuesday for the first time since monarchy was restored, highlighting growing separatist fervour in the wealthy north-eastern region.
Workers at the broadcaster have called a half-hour strike for the exact time of the king's speech. The official reason is to protest cost cuts and the outsourcing of some production, part of the independence-minded region's clash with the central government in Madrid.
