a matter of days while this threat comes after thousands of pro independence supporters demonstrated in barcelona protesting police violence during the secession vote. impassioned voices some seven hundred thousand strong. these pro independence protesters marched through barcelona streets to condemn the government's strong armed response to sunday's referendum. weighing in on the fray spain's king philippe voiced his support for the rule of law scolding cuttle on authorities for willfully ignoring the constitution in their bid to assert their regional sovereignty. no they will nominate their decisions have systematically violated the legally and legitimately approved rules and demonstrated an unacceptable disloyalty towards the powers of the state. but precisely a state those authorities in catalonia represent. missing from his

address to the nation any mention of the brutal crackdown by federal police on caught trying to cast their votes on sunday and a mission that didn't go unnoticed by protesters. he ignores the images of police violence seen around the world without any violence or provocation from the people. of course the spanish government and especially the king defend the unity of spain. it seems he's not interested in the opinion of two or three million people. so we're afraid that police violence will escalate we're waiting for some help from the european institutions so far the response from either leaders has been muted but residents in one barcelona neighborhood are amplifying their message to brussels that this crisis isn't just down for spain but affects

the entire european union. and on that note with the standoff are continuing between talent separatists and madrid let's get the view from the e.u. and for that i'd like to take us to do we use max hoffman who is in strasburg where spain's political crisis is front and center at the you're good to see you now initially the silence affirm the e.u. has been deafening initially. color leaders accusing the e.u. of inaction do they have a point. maybe up until now they had a point but today some things got clarified especially here at the european parliament in strasburg where there was an emergency debate about the topic and most of those parliamentarians expressed very clearly what they expect from spain now and that is dialogue and not confrontation so most parties really called upon
5:05 pm
that some did treat us as though what the police force did and said over the weekend saying that there was no place for that kind of police violence in the european union but overwhelmingly almost all of them said that catalonia was outside the rule of law and that they should get back into the framework of the spanish constitution now the one institution that really could do something would be the e.u. commission you could think of them for example mediating something but their plans to moments the vice president of the u. commission made it clear for now they define this as an inner spanish conflict and will not take on such a role so it's a domestic concern according to the e.u. max how concerned is the e.u. that this crisis could have a ripple effect and inspire other restive regions from unilaterally declaring their independence. as far as we can gather they're concerned for
5:06 pm
a whole range of issues about this conflict of course having this is part of the european union very important part and as you said there might be a ripple effect because for example the flamers parts of belgium or scotland in the u.k. all of those had some independence tendencies in the past and of catalonia did some things the sec's successful by unilaterally declaring their independence and getting away with it that could be a problem for the european union but the sharpest sword that the e.u. has in this case is not necessarily mediating but repeating over and over again and they've done that here in strasburg today that whoever leaves you member state in this case it would be spain would no longer be part of the european union and it's a very lengthy and complicated process to get back into the european union so that is that is a stark contrast to what catalonian leaders are saying they all insist that they would remain part of the e.u. but that is would most likely not be the case. max hofmann reporting from strasburg
