Hello im terry martin good to have you with us carol on Authorities Say ninety percent of those who managed to vote in a band referendum on sunday said yes to independence from spain that after a day of chaos and violence in the region left over eight hundred injured the vote went ahead despite efforts by the Spanish Government to shut it down that is part of spains north east a region of seven and a half Million People who have their own language and culture but its not recognized as a separate nation under the spanish constitution after the mayhem sunday and the forced closing of numerous polling sites catalonia and trade unions have called for a general strike tomorrow. Independence supporters celebrate this as their victory preliminary results are out they show an overwhelming win for an independence catalonia held according to the u. Girl c two million twenty thousand one hundred forty four votes are in favor of the yes. Syncrude on together couples in but it means ninety percent of the voters are in favor of independence. Of the over two million catalans have managed to cast their ballot on sunday Authorities Say only seven point eight percent voted no to independence people across the region are cheering but spain remains firm in rejecting the referendum as in constitutional and illegal. Spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy denied it even happened or you know we dont really it was no selfdetermination referendum in catalonia. Today the spanish people saw that the rule of law in spain is strong and valid and that it answers those who try to attack it and it acts within the boundaries of the law against any provocation. And the people that provoke a few. But the Prime Minister came under criticism as images like these began circulating on sunday tensions escalated as police tried to prevent catalans from casting ballots the authorities smashed their way into polling stations to seize ballot boxes later catalonian authorities declared independence is at hand. But i thought we listen to a of hope and suffering cut alone as citizens have earned the right to have an independent state in the form of a republic. And this my government in the next few days will send the results of todays vote to the Catalan Parliament where the sovereignty of our people lies so that it can act in accordance with the laws of the referendum. Do you know. All you got offended them Catalan Independence supporters celebrate a vote that has no official meaning in the rest of spain. For born a problem joins us now from barcelona the capital of the catalonia region we also have journalist Martin Roberts with us in spains capital madrid good morning to you both gentlemen pablo sunday was obviously an emotional and chaotic day in catalonia how are things looking there this morning. Well id say its early in the morning remember and things got started a little bit later in spain and other countries in europe but its certainly a feeling of shock surprise and excitement depending on what side of the independence referendum youre on i think the Statement Last night from catalyst pushed him on certainly shocked a lot of people who he didnt really expect his words to be so powerful after seeing the number of people really who voted because there is something that needs to be buried you really need to bear in mind of the number who voted it represents more or less around thirty seven percent of the total electorate of cotton yeah so a lot of people on the other side who are against in that and then seal that well with thirty seven percent and as to potential that independents could be declared suppose theres a feeling of shock and fear of where this could be going and where it could be leading this week the public the organizers of the referendum the those who are who are advocating independence theyre saying that a large majority of catalans voted for independence that there was basically a quorum there that this is a ballad reason to go for for complete to declare independence from spain is that generally accepted among the people in catalonia. I think once again terry its a bit late what i was saying to there that i mean it really depends on what side of this argument youre on i mean theres one thing to bear in mind eighty percent more than eighty percent of catalan people want an independence referendum but a legally binding referendum not not this referendum that weve seen this weekend which at the end of the day is unconstitutional and was illegal under the eyes of the spanish law of spanish law and the Spanish Government and even a lot of people here in cairo and it didnt turn out to vote and weve seen with that weve seen that with the number of people who actually went to vote now bearing in mind a lot of the schools and so on were closed with that with force by the police which didnt do any favors to the spanish Central Government its still a very odd situation in that you dont really have in some peoples eyes its not legal and other peoples eyes it is legal so now how is the Spanish Government going to proceed and how is the catalan Regional Government going to proceed so its a very confusing situation and to be honest with you extremely worrying well lets get the view from madrid Martin Robertson standing by for us there martin we heard spanish prime min of the spanish Prime Minister say the referendum had been blocked does believe spains strategy for dealing with the referendum was successful. Well thats certainly what he said last night. On the other hand we have to remember as he spoke before the president said he was moving towards independence already a lot of us have expected since do not permit that day that. You know which is what he noticed of some last week the next move is that hes. Cold for a special session of Parliament Today and hes coping multiparty support he just hasnt said exactly what the next move is going to be so again like Public Service a lot of uncertainty at the moment but a lot of uncertainty clearly but the Spanish Government has to deal with this issue in some way are there any prospects for negotiations or reconciliation something that would satisfy both signs. There was no suggestion of us in last nights speech. And again it seems to be the strategy which really has been pursuing for the last five years which is just to insist that more is the law the law needs to be enforced i mean about the only dilemma he said was that there was always playing to it was always remove the negotiation within the bounds of the law. So that with the appearance rules and. You know any negotiation or any acceptance that yesterdays vote was in any way valid the round of them that i just referred to her health situation. They provide for the group taking over the direct rule of counselor near dissolving that as im as again i think a lot of people in have to learn you would see that as being very very highly progressive. Back to you in barcelona pablo after the clashes yesterday between the police and people trying to vote in that referendum there was a lot of friction there must be even more tension what can we expect on the streets of barcelona and elsewhere in catalonia in the days ahead. Well theres been a call for a general strike by a lot of the unions here theres going to be a lot of protests today itll be also theres also going to be a meeting at ten thirty with the catalyst push them all and the rest of his Regional Government and theyre going to be discussing and whats happened over the weekend on how to proceed so its going to be an interesting time today i think a lot of people are waking up and in a state of that shock. After what weve heard from from the Regional Government we also have to wait and see what happens from madrid and depending on what comes from madrid then people will will decide well theyre going to react to that so once again and weve said this throughout its a very odd situation its very confusing and people really dont know whats going on pablo thank you so much and martin to us in madrid thank you thats probably only earliest therefore if you can barcelona and Martin Roberts in madrid. Lets get the european perspective on that Catalan Independence vote lets bring in Barbara Basler for that shes our correspondent in brussels good morning to you barbara how are European Union officials reacting to the catalan referendum. Officially they are not reacting at all in officially over the weekend to Prime Ministers the one from belgium and the one from slovenia stuck their neck out and said now this referendum was illegal and illegitimate however those situations can never be solved by violence and particularly the belgian Prime Minister he knows what hes talking about because belgium has had in movement for years and years that flanders has those sort of flare ups of wanting to go it alone theres been a number of european parliamentarians talking over the weekend and everybody said and they were really united in their opinion this is not the way to go at it in officially of course in brussels there was shock and horror of during the last two weeks when this was sort of coming up because everybody knew this was like a train crash waiting to happen and the Spanish Government walked right into the trap that the separatist movement had set for them they created the pictures they wanted in barcelona thats the official opinion in brussels well what do we expect moving forward now from the European Union barbara now that this illegal referendum has been held the European Union has been so quiet about the Catalan Independence movement in the past are they likely to get more involved now. They can only get more involved terry if they are asked for instance to mediate i mean theyre called that from people say now European Union should try to get involved and offer itself as a mediator however we have to keep in mind that the European Union is not. Against the book popular opinion might think this Supra National body who has a right to interfere in the Eternal Affairs of their member countries they simply dont so they have to of course talk and get on the telephone and they did get on the telephone to be on the heart of the weekend mark of the german chancellor has done that and several others so they are trying to sort of say no lets stop this lets sort of not get drawn into this spiral of violence and counterviolence however officially it is a very difficult position you can only act if it is asked to act ok lets take a step back for a moment borrow a look at europe in terms of Independence Movements weve got weve got britain of course leaving the European Union thats one thing scotland though is trying to leave the u. K. It was an independence very vocal Independence Movement there now weve got catalonia of course this is part of a trend in europe. Basically the answer should be no because weve had the referendum in scotland and the majority of the scottish people said no well stay with the United Kingdom and so that issue is mol acetyl its also more or less settled politically because even bracks it hasnt really brought back the Independence Movement there so but they are for the have been for decades in several regions in europe if you think of the trentino in the north of italy if you think of. So if you think of several regions in europe that wanted to break up and this is like a festering wound that is sort of on the circuit surface to surface and the in this mint in barcelona could really reignite those fires barbara thank you so much to barbara basal there in brussels and we do have some breaking news coming in to you coming in to us now this hour for you police in the u.
