The government regrets that the catalan president has decided not to respond to its request of last week i dont think its very difficult to say either yes or no to the question of whether he has declared independence or not. This is a question that cannot remain unanswered i dont think its a complicated question with something as important as this we need clarity. Let me now do indeed have the correspondent barbara visit she joins me now from the Continent Capital boss luna one hundred seem to the spanish prime somalian or a horn has also commented on this crisis what do you make of the statement. He has written a letter back because he received a letter this morning instead of the originally announced Public Statement of carlins put him on so very quickly mary Mariano Rajoy formulated his answer and that is totally unexpected to go by next thursday ten oclock put shipment must have taken back this half cooked independence declaration off last tuesday or article one hundred fifty five will be invoked that means quite clearly that the Central Government in madrid can take powers away from the Regional Government here that we see in the back of us and then impose first like an interim directorate and then the next step would be to call for elections that its quite clear and he said it really gives the finally all final ultimatum to put them on telling him you need to obey our rules you need to return to legality or we will take your power away. Now push him on has ignored todays deadlines a deadline and he wants the talks and negotiations to go on over the next two months to decide how to proceed in this crisis is why is the Central Government totally opposed to this idea. The Central Government really doesnt want to show weakness to a Secessionist Movements thats the way madrid sees this and obviously the spanish constitution for bids any sort of breaking off of regions that have not been negotiated beforehand it really forbit Secessionist Movement as we have movements as we have seen them here in catalonia and also on the other hand. Wants to push push and pull things back to into the Legal Framework they have in the last days make noises that said listen we can talk about a change of the constitution that would give more powers to the regions and spain so theyre not totally turned off however they were not willing to engage in the way via public crisis and street fighting in barcelona in the ways that push demand has sort of managed to to push this forward ride in barcelona thank you very much for their.

Venezuela president Nicolas Maduro has healed the results of recent elections is ruling party won nearly all twenty three contested state governorships opposition leaders have said this is specter Election Fraud independent polls have projected the opposition would win a majority. Poor handling of venezuelas economic crisis. To austria now where thirty one year old conservative sebastian cause is on track to become the countrys next leader after his party won sundays election if confirmed he would be europes youngest leader but his victory is also controversial because to win support he embraces the anti immigrant and divisive rhetoric of the far right Freedom Party. Sebastian kurtz is said to be the worlds youngest leader and he supporters cant get enough. The thirty one year old has led the center right Peoples Party for just five months. Has steered the party rightward on key issues and to victory in austria as national elections. Oh i have a big request for you used today to celebrate. Youve all earned it through hard work and dedication which. To me at the same time i need to tell you that your moral the work starts we didnt just run to win the election we did it to bring austria back on track. So were going to be just to be here we ran in the selection to achieve real change. How could such hopes to achieve this change is up for debate. The former foreign minister appeal to conservative and right wing voters with pledges to reduce immigration shut down migrant roots kept benefits to refugees and bar immigrants from benefits for five years a divisive stance in austria. From korea im shocked and outraged i truly have to say but i cant say more im very disappointed that the austrians vote like this in sanford. If you squirt i think the result is great is cool i think it is great that. The other candidates are all tricksters i voted for quote since good on the economists has told me having cut in cold scrape. Could says party is still far short of the numbers needed to form a government he will have to form a coalition hes most likely partner. The far right Freedom Party that took an anti immigrant anti islam position during the campaign. Despite Court Says Pro e. U. Pledge observers say a rightwing alliance risks driving a wedge between vienna and brussels and he. Is covering the austrian elections and joins me now from vienna max the boston course is set to become the youngest a leader in europe but to govern he has to form a coalition judging by the tone of what hes been saying its most likely to be the far right party isnt it. So far he hasnt ruled out any options but if you look at it closely and read it there arent that many options one option would be to continue the grand coalition with the social democrats but he effectively killed that while he was still part of the government in this grand coalition on top of that the grand coalition is something that most austrians reject so that seems highly unlikely and then really the only other option is to call of a coalition with the with the far right with the Freedom Party and if you look at the campaign how it went whats a bust their court said during the campaign he seems a lot closer to them some even say he stole one or two pages out of their playbook especially on migration control i dont think everybody is happy with the outcome of this election and then the actual where they cant keep going keep this pledge to make a fresh start for the country thats listen to what one person had to say about this piece not me at all so the way i see it sebastian is the horse ahead and behind him is the old guard holding the reins so thats how it looks to me i dont believe that the entire old guard has gone into retirement. So lets let him make off that comment to imply that some boston course is just a front man and the only god is actually going to be donning the show well certainly not everybody of the old guard is gone now but it seems like the man we just saw and heard is making the same mistake many have made under estimating sebastien chords because of his age through hes only thirty one years old but so far hes filled every issue that hes tried on he made significant changes in the party the party is him now he has a say of a person now he has a say over organization and the group that actually makes the decision with him has been around for a couple of years of well very tight knit group so dont be surprised if hes more than the horse hide myself when in vienna thank you very much for that analysis.
