If Catalonia declares independence this afternoon, the Madrid government is ready to sideline the local government, establish a new executive organization, control security and finances, and then call a local election in
The division is evident right in the Catalan parliament
As reported, last Tuesday, October 10, 2017, Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont signed a document allowing Catalan to declare independence from Spain.
Madrid’s response was very tough.
In case Mr. Puigdemont chooses to declare independence, Madrid will give 3 more days to think again before applying strong measures.
More specifically, the central government could sideline the local government and establish a new executive organization, controlling security and finance, then call for a snap election within 3 months to succeed.
In this case, Mr. Puigdemont will not only have his dream of being the head of the `Catalan state` broken, but will also lose the legal leadership position he has in hand.
If Mr. Puigdemont declares independence, the central government will have the right to intervene in Catalan internal affairs and he may lose both money and fishing.
Sources close to the Catalan government said Puigdemont will send a letter to Prime Minister Rajoy before the ultimatum expires to find a middle ground solution.
