Spanish delegate in Catalonia warns pro-independence leaders could end up “incapacitated”

The Spanish government’s delegate in Catalonia, Enric Millo, warned that Catalan executive members could end up “incapacitated” in terms of continuing to represent Catalonia if they go ahead with the referendum law, which was presented on Tuesday. According to Millo, if Puigdemont’s cabinet continues with the referendum plans, its members will be “absolutely unable to be go-betweens” to Madrid.

Millo believes that the Catalan government won’t put its plans into practice: “They will not do what they are saying because they know it isn’t possible.” Moreover, he continued, “Why are they insisting on this path, knowing that it leads nowhere and that it only generates confrontation, division and conflict? Why do they turn their back on any alternative to find a way out of this situation? What are they seeking and what do they want to happen?”.
