catalan parliament and calling regional elections after it declared independence from the rest of the country mariano rajoy said their decision was based on lies and ford that's not we're not sure it will take place on december the twenty first mr premier of maybe that's. where the first measures that have been tossed are the following to depose the president of the council on government the position of the deputy president and all of the members of the council on government we will also abolish the delegation abroad known as the embassies except in brussels and the secretary general of the catalan police will also be suspended. thousands of people happy rallying in barcelona now live in barcelona showing their support for catalan independence they have been waving separatists flags chanting liberty in the catalan language and singing traditional catalan. citizens of catalonia in the coming hours we will have to maintain our country's

poles most of all to monterrey in the public spirit and our dignity as we have always done with no doubt it will continue to be that way. for us with the latest reaction from the government but first let's go to how the. dritte now historic day the prime minister. pretty much pushing power over catalonia but almost tried guess trying to sweeten it with this suggestion that there will be elections. yes absolutely i mean the position of prime minister all along has been that this has nothing to do with the people of. this. region. but it was a matter. of the position always being that the referendum and all what happened has been completely. just simply not acceptable to the

central government in my dream. been a very hectic day. over the past maybe forty eight hours i would go with all kinds of rumors and expectations from one side from the. result is that the regional government remain defiant prime minister from his position trying to have the regional government there. in that case he would have triggering. that happened the prime minister put it he had no other choice but to. refer to this article but he does say that this was a very sad day for spain and. quite calmly seem to be saying look it's business as usual we have just dealt with this in that kind of fashion get the

politicians. believe this crisis can be dealt with quite. well i think at this point many would tell you that they're waiting to see the regional government. react to all of this yes he called he now the entire government including the president and the vice president mean that they will listen many would be many people would tell you no they will do that so what will happen next with. police to remove maybe from the generally tape which is the seat of the got the government in barcelona would they be. arrested certainly there's a lot of speculation when you speak to anyone here it all looks very calm it only looks like he is that the prime minister is falling is following and is using everything all the what is given to him through the constitution and through the

various articles there but in reality how will that happen that is the big question that is worrying a lot of people bear in mind that there's a ready a lot of divisions i was talking just yesterday to someone who was telling me that there are big divisions among friends divisions within the families over does this matter whether you are pro independence or anti independence. that is going on people are afraid also of the domino effect it could have in the other regions of spain so certainly a lot of uncertainty facing this country at least for the next two months thank you take that question how did just. for us now life was how's been the reaction if any so far from the got some presents they must of saying this was going to calm. the government minister.

is can tell you is that when we went from just off to. read. the. freedom. to people in the most difficult and celebrate free moments. the reaction. to what we're seeing here. it's been going on nearly four hours now people started heading towards this square which is right before the seat of government a government that's been sacked a government it's charlie on the show whether it will still function or whether there could be a rest of the presidential ministers no one is sure. that is going

to pay well there was a series of rumors that this trouble would actually address this massive crowd which is actually quite crushed i can testify to that because it took me off for the hour with the crew to get the force the squad with equipment it was a really serious crush but no warm well no one can leave anyway but no one is moving and ever wanted to. see something for freedom for swords out in charge of the force from europe and a bunch of the soldiers the traditional folk. from the crowd basically assuring what is this boy this is new to new future but the reality to the world isn't in any way assured.

something like that police chief has even been suspended. could happen on the streets now. if the madrid parliament decides to impose the decision is that the prime minister has my. response. just try one more time. that this. indeed physical on the streets with madrid imposing. so whether that's concerned about the future that's the last thing yes the answer to celebrate this is. that all that's hosting the on the only thing there is on our way to the. morning the nominee whether it's on the phone this month. with most of the front yard with police.

in the room on the. switches in. which is seven thousand wrong with our most oblique model. what it. is i'm buying orders from spain. that's about to sign the commissioner of the most news but also replacing the top brass we all know that that's the sunshine to get this government this whole place good. of the whole wide ranging hour of the former far far greater. bag on this plane with a very very different approach that our current home celebrates a celebration on with our. watch up with us no doubt that i'm not sorry

it has to be said that some are all around the couple right now it's not the money . our ever but the good news there's a big breakthrough and i can be sure that i don't know how many feet. but i have a voice without waiting it's a given that will lower the position all right but also possible number crunching in the morning. the much more. sinister against. the air. campaign officials have called off voting and full opposition strongholds as
