Catalonia goes to the polls next May 28th but foreigners eligible to vote need to be registered much sooner. Cristina Tomàs White gives the lowdown on who has the right to vote and how to register. Cillian Shields chats to Pere Moradell, mayor of Torroella de Fluvià since 1979. Maxime Van Cleven compares voting rights across Europe and beyond. Plus a look at some of the intriguing mayoral battles across Catalonia. This week's Catalan phrase is 'Embolica que fa fort'. Literally something like 'wrap to make strong', it means a situation is becoming more complicated. Presented by Lorcan Doherty.
