Catalonia will make unilateral declaration of independence from Spain in the event of “50 per cent plus one more vote” referendum result (From The National)
CATALONIA’S president is preparing for the next round in its battle
for secession from Spain with a warning that he will make a unilateral
declaration of independence if “50 per cent plus one more” of the
electorate votes yes in the referendum planned for next year.
He also warned that “Europe has no future” if it does not recognise “a reality like Catalonia”.
Speaking during an interview with a Spanish radio station, Carles
Puigdemont said independence would be declared before new elections were
held in Catalonia, which is responsible for around a fifth of Spain’s
economic output. And he said Europe had a role to play in the process.
