English Edition Dear readers, Developments in the situation in Catalonia this week saw the central government in Madrid preparing to extend the period of time it expects to retain control of the region, with plans to address the issue of parents who want their children to study in Castilian Spanish. Elsewhere, one of our most-read stories of the week was news that an 80-year-old mature student is planning on taking an Erasmus year in Italy, while the latest chapter in the bizarre tale of a man who claimed a public paycheck for 10 years without working needs to be read to be believed. And from Latin America we had news of a man who took the law into his own hands when he discovered a would-be molester was grooming his 11-year-old girl. We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition, thanks for reading.
