Clock ticking for Puigdemont over Catalan independence
Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont is coming under pressure to declare full independence.
Puigdemont made a declaration of independence on Tuesday only to suspend it seconds later and call for negotiations with Madrid. Hardliners from the far-left Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) are demanding a quick break with Spain
“We believe that the only effective way to have civil and politic rights in this country is to build the catalan Republic,” said Anna Gabriel, a member of the Catalan parliament from the CUP party.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy demanded that the Catalan leader clarify whether he has declared independence, issuing a veiled threat that the central government could limit or rescind the region’s autonomy if he has.
Both sides in the crisis those for and those against Catalonian independence have taken to the streets to make their voices heard.
Puigdemont has until 10.am Monday to clarify his position on independence and until Thursday to change his m ind if he insists on a split with Spain.
