President of Catalonia Carles Puigdemont says the region will push for independence if repression and lack of dialogue remain. At the same time the regional leader said that the holding back of an independence declaration is still in force.
“If the government continues to impede dialogue and continues with the repression, the Catalonian parliament could proceed, if it is considered opportune, to vote on a formal declaration of independence,” Puigdemont said in his second letter to Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
