Sacked Catalonia Leader Calls For Opposition To Madrid's Rule

Description

Carles Puigdemont the ousted Catalonian president is calling for peaceful “democratic opposition” after the central government announced a takeover of the region. On Friday Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy made a unilateral declaration of independence from Spain effectively dismissing Puigdemont's regional government. Puigdemont has accused Madrid of “premeditated aggression” against the will of the Catalans. In a statement Puigdemont said, "It’s very clear that the best form of defending the gains made up until now is democratic opposition to Article 155,” referring to the constitutional trigger for the takeover.
