Puigdemont has said that Catalonia will announce independence in a matter of days as well.

I think this is a prelude to more violence and a complete fucking mess, sadly.


What do you think the central government will do?
According to Puigdemont in that interview they have refused his invitation to mediation.
What with the force used against voters and the hard line from the king is it going to be troups on the streets and forced shutdown of the parliament? It all seems poised for major escalation.
