Carles Puigdemont looks at mayors holding letters forming the word 'Catalonia' during a meeting with Catalan mayors in Brussels on November 7 | Emmanuel Dunand/AFP via Getty Images euro-press review Catalonia’s leadership ‘less united and more muddled’ Also on today’s front pages: UK parliament gets a vote on Brexit, the military takes on wind power in Belgium and the ‘losers’ under Macron.

Spain

Spanish front pages were still focused on the Catalan crisis Tuesday. El País reported the EU "supports Spain against cyberattacks in Catalonia," referring to allegations of Russian support for the Catalan independence movement. El Mundo reported the Catalan government plans to create its own army. The paper also published a feature on "linguistic exiles" — Spanish speakers in Catalonia for whom "it's hard to live in dignity when the nationalists impose their Catalan fanaticism." Catalan paper La Vanguardia reported on a possible rapprochement between Catalonia's ousted leaders Carles Puigdemont and Oriol Junqueras, who failed to align their parties under a single banner before the December 21 vote. "Less united, and much more muddled," was ABC's headline, referring to the Catalan leadership.

Belgium

De Standaard reported on Belgium banning wind turbines near two air force bases. "The defense is getting even more defensive," lamented Flemish Energy Minister Bart Tommelein. De Morgen reported on riots that took place in the Brussels city center over the weekend after the soccer World Cup qualifier between Morocco and Ivory Coast. Noting no one was arrested, the paper asked: "Is there impunity in Brussels?" Francophone paper Le Soir reported on Belgium's traffic emergency, saying the country "has never been this choked up."

France

Le Monde led with a stark warning on climate change. In massive typeface, it quoted a joint letter from 15,000 scientists saying: "IT WILL SOON BE TOO LATE." Right-leaning Le Figaro reported on the European Defense Pact, an agreement among 23 EU countries to boost defensive cooperation. "Europe's defense wants to free itself of the United States," was the paper's headline. Left-leaning Libération, which was never on-board with President Emmanuel Macron's plan to liberalize the French economy, reported that two-thirds of respondents in a survey believed they were "losers" under his presidency.

UK

Brexit Secretary David Davis announced MPs will have the opportunity to vote on a final Brexit deal, an apparent concession to MPs concerned about the kind of deal Theresa May's government will strike with the EU. "May yields to vote on EU divorce deal as turmoil buffets Brexit plan," reported the Financial Times. "Tory rebels not convinced by Brexit U-turn," led the Guardian. The papers also reported on the prime minister accusing Russia of "planting fake stories" to "sow discord in the West," following reports of Russian meddling in the German election and hacks of the Danish defense ministry. "May tells Putin: We know what you are doing," reported the Telegraph.

Germany

Süddeutsche Zeitung led with reports on an earthquake in Iran that has killed at least 400 people. The paper also reported that the German government approved the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia despite opposition protests. Also on SZ's front page, a report on the Greens complaining the Christian Social Union (CSU), the more-conservative Bavarian sister party of Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union, was taking "destructive" pot-shots during coalition talks to form a new German government. Die Welt said the CSU was threatening to walk out of talks over immigration policy. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung also reported on the EU defense pact, leading with: "EU states want to cooperate more closely on defense."
