| Spain to push ahead with suspending Catalonia's autonomy |
| 2017-10-20 |
| [DAWN] Spain said on Thursday that it will press ahead with suspending Catalonia's autonomy after the region's leader warned he may declare independence, heralding an unprecedented escalation of the country's worst political crisis in decades. The central government in Madrid had given separatist leader Carles Puigdemont until 10am (0800 GMT) on Thursday to say whether or not he was declaring a breakaway state in the semi-autonomous region following a chaotic referendum on October 1. |
