16-Oct-17 TV News: 'Independence declaration deadline looms'

A new deadline: Thursday 10am. That's when the Catalan president Carles Puigdemont must say clearly whether or not he declared independence last week, or he faces the suspension of Catalonia's autonomy. Today the Spanish government refused Puigdemont's offer of a two-month dialogue period saying nothing can be discussed unless he backs down on his independence plans. Meanwhile, in Court, the head of the Catalan police had his passport withdrawn in the investigation that accuses him of an alleged crime of sedition, as the prosecutor asked for prison without bail for two pro-independence civil society organizations leaders / ACN
