Rajoy warns that the Spanish Government will act forcefully against secessionist

USPA NEWS - The regional Parliament of Catalonia undated Wednesday postponed a decision on the proposal by the secessionist presented by the independence groups in the House. Meanwhile, Spanish Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, warned that act "forcefully" against the secessionists.

Rajoy said he hoped not to have to apply Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution, which provides for the suspension of autonomy in those regions whose disobedience or behavior are manifestly serious. However, he warned that act "forcefully" against the independence proposal. "The Government knows what to do," Rajoy said and assured that he do not shake the pulse when it comes to making decisions.

Rajoy has already spoken with the head of the opposition, the Socialist Pedro Sanchez, and Secretary General of Citizens (C's in its acronym in Spanish), Albert Rivera. This last match was the second highest number of votes in the Catalan regional elections on September 27 and is resolutely opposed to secession. Rajoy will meet with both soon, as well as other political leaders except the secretary general of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, who has repeatedly positioned for the right to decide, contrary to the arguments of the Government.

Decision postponed

Meanwhile, the regional Parliament of Catalonia on Wednesday postponed the consideration of the proposed secession submitted 24 hours ago by pro-independence groups in the House, as the parliamentary group of the Popular Party has not yet been established and its existence is essential for the meeting Board of Spokesmen of the Catalan Parliament. This could delay the consideration of the secessionist proposal until after the holding of the first plenary of the House.

At the same time, the conservative Popular Party and the centrist Citizens filed separate petitions paths to the motion filed by pro-independence groups in the Catalan Parliament, Together for Yes and the CUP to be removed. Conservatives and centrists said they exhausted all parliamentary resources available to deal with the secessionist proposal does not vote in plenary.
