Rajoy on Catalan independence roadmap: “It goes against history”
The Spanish president has described the agreement between the CDC and ERC as “bad” and “against the law”. Mariano Rajoy also said that the 27-S election is not a plebiscite and warned that “no Spanish government will ever authorise the break-up of the national sovereignty”. The Catalan Government spokesman, Francesc Homs, replied that the Spanish president is actually contributing to the ‘No’ campaign with his comments. Homs criticised, however, the fact that Rajoy “has never said that he will respect the result of the vote, whatever it is”.
