Spain:Declaration of independence from Catalonia; Spain ready to respond

Spin will not be divide even if Catalonia declares independence, was said by Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. Any such attempt from Catalonia will invite action from Spain. He warned Government would not tolerate any such thing.

Catalan regional President Carles Puigdemont plans to address the Catalan parliament on Tuesday evening to debate the current political situation. Separatist politicians say there will be a declaration of independence for the northeastern region of 7.5 million during that session, although some ruling coalition lawmakers say the move could be simply “symbolic.”



“Spain will not be divided and the national unity will be preserved. We will do everything that legislation allows us to ensure this,” Rajoy told the German newspaper Die Welt. “We will prevent this independence from taking place.”
