Speech by Carles Puigdemont 10 October 2017
- Vote is an exceptional moment for Catalonia
- This is an exceptional moment for Catalonia
- Catalonia is a European issue
- Everyone must accept responsibility, and should lower, tensions
- Catalans must come together despite differences
- Has received proposals from many different sides
- Companies moving headquarters won’t hurt our economy much
- Last hope was that the king would mediate
- Asks whole of Spain to be calm and respetcful
- We do not want to overthrow the government
His tones so far are quite conciliatory and that’s lifting the euro mildly. Still more to come though.
- Referendum voted in favour of independence
- Catalonia has won the right to independence
- Says that he wants to follow the will to make Catalan an independent state
- Proposes to suspend a referendum result to open dialogue with Spain (bullish for EUR)
That’s the kicker folks. He’s offering the peace branch and putting the ball in Spain’s court.
