Puigdemont: Spanish king ignored millions of Catalans | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont has attacked Spain's King Felipe VI for "deliberately ignoring millions of Catalans". | |
In a TV address, Mr Puigdemont accused the king of adopting the Spanish government's position. | |
"This moment calls for mediation," he said. He has indicated that Catalonia could declare independence next week. | |
King Felipe made his own TV address on Tuesday night, calling Sunday's Catalan referendum illegal and undemocratic. | |
Twenty-four hours later, Mr Puigdemont claimed that the king had rejected a moderating role granted to him by the Spanish constitution. | |
