The UK will not recognise the Catalan
parliament's decision to declare independence
from Spain, Downing Street says.
Theresa May's official spokesman said the
declaration was based on a vote that had been
declared illegal.
He added that the UK wanted to see the unity of
Spain preserved.
The Catalan regional parliament has voted to declare
independence from Spain, while the Spanish
parliament has approved direct rule over the region.

What powers does Catalonia have?
Moment Catalans declare independence - BBC
News
The UK prime minister's spokesman said in a
statement: "The UK does not and will not recognise
the unilateral declaration of independence made by
the Catalan regional parliament."
"It is based on a vote that was declared illegal by
the Spanish courts. We continue to want to see the
rule of law upheld, the Spanish constitution
respected, and Spanish unity preserved."
Catalan MPs backed the independence motion 70-10
in a ballot boycotted by the opposition.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy had told
senators direct rule was needed to return "law,
democracy and stability" to Catalonia.
UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson earlier offered
his support to the Spanish PM.
After a meeting with Portugal's foreign minister in
Lisbon, he said: "We don't think, as far as we
understand the matter, that the referendum on
independence was well-founded in law.
"Therefore we remain very clear in our view that we
should uphold the constitutional integrity and
sovereignty of our Spanish friends and that's really
our commitment and our pledge."

The article said UK, OP have automatically added US.

In case u dont know, UK/US are two different things.

US State Department on Catalan independence: "Catalonia is an integral part of Spain".

Lobatan, come and see some people wailing for Catalonia here.

Good!

is spain now have permission to crush the Separatist?

There goes the bogus claim of mother of democracy by USA and UK. The UK and USA are still father and son of colonialism. All the nonsensical "American Value" is complete hogwash.

If it is only the cattarrh that begins the country's name....

Catalonia don't worry, the USA and UK are saying to please rajoy, but deep inside them they admit your independent.
what has Putin ( anti EU and NATO) has to say about this.
Kurdish, Russia , Catalonia one side.

Naso. The world revolves around their smelly ass

hardywaltz:

They have a right to be deluded!

Eventually they will. Catalonia is at a point of one return.

Besides nation's no longer need us and UK to survive anymore when Russia and China is there. That erra is long gone.

Catalonia is also oil rich

who cares

Will they ever support a good thing?

I'm sure Russia is backing Catalonia, that's why.

In other words, the Catalonia independence leaders can't deceive their followers with the line
"The United Nations will invade the country with a cavalry if we ever get arrested".





This is not my handwriting.

I dey laff
IPOB and Biafra wont have this problem at all. Trump, Theresa May, Putin, ICC, UN, The Hague, Amnesty International, Mr. Turkish Diplomat and Fani kayode have promised them recognition.

What is their (UK) problem?

Must you force people to stay together?

If you did not recognise their independence, are you feeding them?

Do they ask for your aid?

UK abeg park well and let Catalonia live in peace.

Na so Biafra own too go be
