Government spokesman, Iñigo Méndez de Vigo, told the British paper that the Spanish Cabinet is prepared to use force, via the Mossos d’Esquadra, if there is ‘disobedience’ after the article 155 has been triggered.
The Times concluded that the Spanish Government will use force of the protestors are ‘threatening public order’.
Vigo denied the application of 155 would suspend the autonomy ‘we are trying to restore it’ he assured, adding ‘replacing the current heads of the Mossos and return ‘neutrality’ to the Regional Administration.
Along the same lines, Development minister, Iñigo de la Serna, believes in an eventual calling of a new election which Puigdemont requested on television this morning, to ‘return the Catalan Govern and Parliament to normality’, and he reiterated that his Government does not want to use 155, but it is both their ‘obligation and responsibility’ to do so.
De la Serna assured the Government’s plans regarding the self-governance and autonomy of Cataluña, and the rights of the residents, ‘There is nothing written about 155 and as a consequence we are trying to come up with a reasonable proposal’ he said.
Health minister, Dolors Montserrat, noted Puigdemont could go to the Senate to challenge 155, and he had called on the independents who feel disillusioned to convince him the president of Cataluña ‘to return to law’
If any of the Catalan councillors were unable to support their leader, she explained ‘when dining’ the possibility of a ‘unilateral declaration of independence’ then Puigdemont should ‘resign’.
