thes also an issue because pro-independence parties are in control and will continue to push for theirgenda. by no means is independence any closer. remember, in october when the referendum took place, they didn't really have a clear mandate and that mandate hasn't become any clearer because the actual winner of the ballot was a pro-spain party. it was a night of opposite ideas that created a mess. mark: how divided are separatists over how to pursue independence? a good question because remember, this time, they didn't run as a single platform. we know that the president is still in brussels. he was having a great time yesterday, saying i one day the actual -- won the actual thing. deputy who is now a rival is in prison. this was fragile, now the pro-independence parties that have leaders in prison, feel he should come back to spain and face the music like they did. it will be a difficult coalition to keep together. the parties have very little in common except independence. matt: what will he do now? if he manages to come back to catalonia where his government runs the state, will fe

genie: there are a number of independent parties in the running today and they are very divided. absolutely. this is a bitterly contested election and there are divisions within the pro-independence camp itself. seven groups in all running in these elections. three of them are overtly pro-independence. we've got the party of carles puigdemont who is exiled in brussels. if he returns to spain, he faces arrest. party came out on top it's unclear whether he would be able to take any form of office. we've also got euskera the biggest pro-independence party and they are hoping they can come out on top in the referendum. they are not running on the same platform. they are not running united with the other main independence party. we've also got a radical far left pro-independence party. because the divisions between , it's uncleartter if they will be able to form a coalition even if they do get seats inity of catalan's regional parliament. genie: thank you. seats in catalan'sthe opinion polls say e left-wing independent party drc could win the most seats -- drc erc could win the most vo

just a day after original elections in catalonia it's still difficult to judge who won a pro independence party such a slim majority but the party of x. cut along president carlos pushed law is not the largest in the new parliament that honor went to the liberal citizens party which is anti independence prime minister marianna conservatives were nearly wiped out but he's still refusing to talk to the separatists despite pleas from pushed law pushed him all made his offer from brussels where he currently resides to avoid being arrested by the spanish for leading october's independence referendum. i'm ready to meet prime minister high in brussels or in a different place in the e.u. except spain for his reasons aren't ready to do that because it's time for catalonia for the spanish state and for europe to start a new political phase and this phase needs to be defined by political solutions not by the but no my delusion is depression we've been seeing so far as your i know. you know you don't spain's prime minister mariano rajoy had different ideas. you'll get the person i should be meeting is the

us this hour now preliminary results from the catalan regional election indicate that pro independence parties all set to keep their absolute majority in parliament but are projected to win seventy out of one hundred thirty five seats the pro unity citizens party meanwhile took around twenty five percent of the vote although that makes it the single most popular party the unionist parties together that will only have fifty seven seats the official results will be announced on the fifth of january his journalist martin roberts with more details. seven parties in the elections are vying for votes cast by record turnout and this is all the more remarkable when you consider that elections were held on a working day like today rather than the usual some day although this year holding them on a sunday would have meant conflicting with christmas eve so central authorities decided to bring the elections forward a few days the uncertainty seems likely to continue for several weeks now because while the three or four it pro independence parties do have a majority between them no single policy has anythi

but the problem madrid camp was also celebrating victory the citizens party which opposes independence emerged as the single biggest party with thirty seven seats. today and we have sent a message to the world that the majority of catalans feel catalan spanish and european and will continue to do so. and the nationalist parties can never again claim they speak for all catalonians because we are all catalonia. yacoub we do not only with rival groups declaring victory this election has seemingly done nothing to end catalonia as political deadlock but it has made one thing eminently clear the independence movement is not going away. a data. is in barcelona for us and she joins us for more on the story hi barbara good to see you the results indicate that this region is still very much divided over the question of independence what kind of reactions are you hearing today. the problem really is that soon me the day after the election is like the day before the election and so it seems that even though everything was really peaceful and very democratic yesterday today catalans are mostly alre

of people favor the probably independence parties. i don't think it's a good result to lift us parties have been marginalized and i don't see a solution for the differences between two clear blocks. so for now the spotlight appears to be on the attitude of the new catalan government i would say they will slightly step back this doesn't mean that they waited and renounced today independence more but they will i think they got softer approach first because they were slightly less than fifty percent of the vote and they think that's important sank on because they're hardline by the chinese government in this elections have produced a rather messy outcome with both sides able to take positives from the results but neither side able to land the kind of knockout blow that they might have hoped for everything now depends on the secessionist bloc and whether they will choose confrontation with madrid or compromise hope brennen al-jazeera barcelona. yes jury has found two formless south american football officials guilty in a case that helped t
