Uh Oh: Ousted Catalan Leader Calls For 'Democratic Opposition' To Direct Rule

Description

The Spanish region of Catalonia declared independence on Friday, but the government in Madrid have refused to accept the decision and have dissolved the regional government. According to Reuters, the national government in Madrid says the decision is invalid, and in response to the declaration, President Mariano Rajoy fired the entire Catalan government, including the Catalan president, shortly after the vote. In return, Catalan President Carles Puigdemont has urged "democratic opposition" to the Spanish government's efforts to suppress the region's independence.
