“We have won the right to an independent state, built as a republic,’ Catalan President Carles Puigdemont said in a statement in Barcelona on Sunday, following a disputed referendum on independence from Spain plagued by violence and protests. According to Catalan officials, 90% of voters backed independence from Spain. The Spanish government deemed the ballot illegal and Spanish police officers used force in an attempt to stop the vote.
"Today there was no referendum on self-determination in Catalonia," Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said in a speech just a matter of minutes after the polls closed on a Catalan referedum for independence from Spain. Rajoy was resolute in his stance that Spain is indivisible and that the referendum would not be recognised.
