Spain issues warning to Catalonia over secession
A final deadline for Catalonia to drop a secession bid has passed with Spain warning it will suspend the region’s autonomy.
Puigdemont signed an independence declaration after a referendum on 1st of October but then suspended it, asking for dialogue.
Reports suggest he will press ahead on independence if Madrid moves to take direct control.
There are fears that this may lead to civil unrest in Catalonia.
