i'm bringing off it's good to have you with us the break up of spain will not begin tonight catalonia as leader has signed but suspended a declaration of independence from spain the regional president carlists put his name to the document but also delayed its implementation he says more time in more dialogue or both meet other cattle on lawmakers joined him in signing the declaration in a speech earlier this evening the kettle on leader told his region's parliament that the disputed october first referendum granted him a mandate for independence let's have a listen to what he said. if the majority of the votes yes the palm it will declare the independence of catalonia as the president of the catalan government i'm going

to tell you the results of the referendum we said that we are going to have an independent state. that one is the president there of catalonia we want to put in our correspondents now who are on the story for us tonight this is in barcelona and publisher of us is standing by in madrid both of you good evening i want to start with you and you talk about what we heard from the leader of catalonia did it did he go as far as expected or did he pull a political rabbit out of his hat. i think we're looking at a kind of a deal if you want an independence lite version that he presented tonight in order to not create losers and winners if you want there were a lot of people outside the parliament waiting for those very words and also inside parliament you can hear the applause the moment he said these crucial sentences

without officially declaring independence and the key message i think in his speech was a dialogue dialogue and dialogue that is what he's seeking and i had the chance just now of to speak with one of the key representatives of the protest movement the pro independence protest movement and he told me it is exactly the message the people here want to hear they don't want the country going further into conflict that is the scenario they would like to avoid so the message that you get then got tonight is that the pro independence supporters in catalonia they want this deferred independence eggs they want what they got tonight is that correct i mean certainly you will have people who are disappointed when i looked around the cafes one on the large screens the everyone followed the speech of course there was a bit of a disappointment you you could you could tell that some people i heard from they

didn't admit that but that was clearly that there were disappointed at the same time over the last couple of days i talked to many people on in both camps particularly during the white march where people came out all in white because they didn't want to take sides and even people who voted yes in the referendum for independence said look we shouldn't push things too fast we should only announce independence when the time is right and when the spanish site would accept such a thing. and you know we're getting the report now that the president of catalonia has signed the document declaring independence from spain and he's also signed a document which suspends it for the time being how is that going to go down in madrid where you will. as well as expected to people's party that five people died on monday on a government sanctioned he said you know it's the whole thing is

a farce and they're going to continue with their firm hand which is what they've said we're still unsure what exactly is going to happen and what measures they're going to take money on a whole is expected to speak at the parliament building just behind me on wednesday afternoon at four pm that we will be getting some sort of statement from the people's party at some point it is believed that at the head of the main opposition party at the socialists is going to be having a meeting with money on a holy his residence here in madrid it'll be interesting to see what comes out of that meeting and whether there's going to be a show of unity amongst old parties in the spanish parliament which is something which is doesn't happen very often brendan and it's not often that you see these days these people coming together and being in agreement about something so you know that they've taken essentially a hard line to add the statement today yeah exactly and you've got catalonia

basically you know throwing the ball back in madrid's court right if you do one of the ordinary people what are they saying about the fact that now you know they could be looking at more time to deal with this crisis. well i'm glad that you used the word crisis because essentially dots had to government here in madrid are still treating this i mean at the end of the day the suspension of they said declaration of independence and for dialogue i don't know how much dialogue we're going to be seeing between the money and of the whole i'm the cutline regional government considering what we've seen over the past few weeks we did have some sort of indication in that part of people out as a representative there in catalonia said that there's nothing that they can dialogue about there's no reason to tell you like me is at the end of the day the constitution of spain is essentially and does not permit to watch as happened this evening in barcelona and you're right it's it's it's an odd situation to be in on the word to blackmail or threats it's hard to understand which which meaning that they were going for it was used as well by government here in madrid this evening

and gave let me ask you before we run out of time the president of catalonia i mean he seems to have left his options open he's bought some more time is he actually a stronger political leader tonight that's a good question brian he just passed me and he left the assembly hall with a big smile on his face so obviously happy with the performance he has put forward and the big question really will be how does it go down on the street can. the is there too much pressure for people who want independence and want it now and also within this coalition government because one thing is clear tonight the c u p the very far left the radical left one has to say who supports him is very unhappy about the speech they are the reason because why this meeting was delayed and it remains to be seen whether the pressure from without his government and from the street is something he can deal with in the weeks to come our correspondents here
