challenging the church starting november ninth on. this is d w news life from but it has an idea separatist leader calls for peaceful resistance to spain's essential just i was almost a big sex ball in the tree it's a con that's breached i'm all bound to keep walking away free country but i live to madrid and barcelona. it was so coming up growing concerns that ten year could see

more violence as well forties but it's been a presidential election rerun it all position strongholds of affairs for the safety of election officials to. find a home for a good to have you with us the sex cattle on president has called for quotas democratic opposition to the takeover offer catalonia by the trees in an address congress praised him all vowed to pursue his struggle for what he said to be a free country he said the spanish government's decision to sack him was illegitimate we just i was off to madrid to control of the council and government and removed some of its top officials. more on this we're joined by our correspondent in boston a charlotte charles and pillar and journalist martin roberts in madrid welcome to

you both firstly to you how strong a statement did congress bridge them on make. sure that people here all day have been waiting for some real clarity as to what the next step is going to be from callers puja monday people here been very uncertain they thought hey these declared independence that we're going to see protests on the street what's going to happen and we didn't get much of an answer from him his statement was very short and very concise it was pre recorded as well one thing though that we did hear from him that was that he does not acknowledge that spain is taking direct route he still considers himself the leaders this region and he wants to push ahead with the independence that he says is the just image we know that today he's been enjoying are in fact he was apparently spotted having lunch in a restaurant people dyer's a very pro independence area were cheering president president's then not willing

to accept that he's no longer in charge either what's really interesting is that he could in the coming days face arrest that is something that is certainly on the cards so his is time for for not giving many oz's and still insisting that he is going to push ahead with this independence could be running short all right so he did not acknowledge a spain's moves martin over to you then what reaction can we expect from madrid and indeed has there been any as of yet. no official reaction state television have said to market fines and start charging usurping power if he insists. not stepping down or. calling yourself president because officially it was sacked yesterday and the other thing is that on monday apparently the attorney general will be bringing filing charges of rebellion to the rules against the highs as yesterday's parliament should they switch to that independence

that's very serious because that's punishable by jail sentences what's interesting is it's not clear whether those charges will actually apply to demand because of course the pardons insisted on a secret ballot show of hands and it's a basic research you know so that people can judge any possible charges but this raises some interesting questions because the last aren't. trying to arrest castle twenty two september they were met with angry protesters who painted them inside and destroyed that house and were left late as a result of which the organizers of those protests that are in jail or the other interesting question is whether they actually answer the charges because the implication of yesterday's vote is that they now regard as being a foreign country that jurisdiction has. so i mean really we're in a sort of legal no man's land at the moment and nobody quite knows you know where

this is all going to leave well the thing i can tell you is there's a popular level there were yet more. proof unity demonstrations in madrid of the sort we've seen her surge in the recent weeks so tempers are still you know passions are still running high but no panic in madrid just yet when all right so pro unity rallies in madrid shallots a different story in barcelona an extraordinary twenty four hours there as well on top of the already extraordinary few weeks now of people there reacting. well last night days those images were iconic of sounds of people in the square behind me celebrating independence but what is so crucial to point out is that they do not represent everybody here depending on who you speak to people here recognize a different austerity some still say is the leader that he catalonia is now a free country others are accepting madrid in fact the polls suggest that depending

on which ones you look at roughly the country is fifty fifty split on whether or not they support this independence just to give you a quick sense of the the divide that we're still seeing here i'd like you to just take a quick listen to some of the people that we've spoken to. things can't go on as they are here in catalonia the pro independence people won't throw in the towel a bunch of times it's been said until you go this isn't a republican they know the central government wants to put things back on track. your buy nya mail someone just buy nya i love sustain us but we're different and we wanted to live together so i would like us to live peacefully side by side in our own ways but i want to. see the red that i want in them and in this one i don't know for independent or not i think everyone's feeling the same thing west scared of the consequences this might have. but while waiting to see what will happen.

when i'm going to give us a. as was coming across there from those people that we spoke to for those who don't support independence as a real sense of frustration just because they say they don't want to split from spain doesn't mean they're happy with spain imposing direct rule here and so many people really value catalan autonomy and don't want to see spain coming in madrid coming in and taking charge and the other point that we've been hearing a lot throughout the day is people really are worried about civil unrest is still on the streets of boston or it has been relatively calm today but there is a big anti independence rally tomorrow whether or not that calm will remain in the coming days as people start to take stock of exactly what it is that happened here still remains to be seen monitoring the situation for us in barcelona d.w. shot at chelsea and phil and in madrid journalist martin it's good to talk to you.
