Catalan Chaos Continues As Secessionists Prepare Independence Motion<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\n

After yesterday’s chaotic Spanish event rollercoaster, when the Catalan leader Carles Puidgement was going to press ahead with independence only to change his mind, and propose elections, before reversing again and punting the independence decision to parliament, we hoped to get some further clarity on how he\u2019s planning to proceed. Today, the chaos continues.<\/p>\n

First, Bloomberg reported that Catalonia would seek approval for elections from Madrid:<\/p>\n

\n
The rebel government of Catalonia is making a last ditch effort to win concessions from Madrid. According to a person familiar with the matter, Catalan President, Carles Puigdemont, wants to convince supporters to accept regional elections instead of a declaration of independence. A senior Catalan official will ask the Spanish government to suspend the process of seizing direct control of the region if there is a snap election.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

However, shortly afterwards, The Spain Report carried <\/a>breaking news that the secessionists would debate a motion to declare independence in today\u2019s session of the Catalonian Parliament.<\/p>\n
