The Spanish Supreme Court has called for the head of the Catalonian police to be the witness. The Catalan leaders who declare independence continue to pursue their goal despite the unequivocal warning of King Felipe VI of Spain.
Catalunya Spanish President Carles Puccémon told the BBC that he would declare independence "at the end of this week or the beginning of the next." King Felipe VI described the referendum on Sunday as illegal and undemocratic. According to correspondents in Spain, the monarch's refusal to recognize the repressive violence on the part of the Madrid authorities against voting has annoyed supporters of independence rather than discouraging them. At the same time, the Spanish Supreme Court summoned the head of the Catalan regional police to testify as a suspect in an investigation into alleged unrest, including a rebellion against the state.
