Catalan president Carles Puigdemont says he has a mandate to declare independence for the northeastern region, but proposes waiting "a few weeks" in order to facilitate a dialogue.

Puigdemont tells the Catalan parliament that a landslide victory in the region's disputed Oct. 1 referendum on independence gives his government grounds to implement its long-held desire to break century-old ties with Spain. But he is suggesting holding off.

Puigdemont's speech was highly critical of the Spanish government's response to the referendum, but he said Catalans have nothing against Spain or Spaniards, and that they want to understand each other better.

At the end of his speech, Puigdemont was applauded by standing separatist lawmakers.

Buhari is weak- Abba Kyari

He is already scared. He thought it is very easy to declare independence. Even EU and other countries have threatened that they can never recognize Catalonia as a country if they are to seceed. the best thing is for them to negotiate now.IPob should try and learn from this. If USA and EU their saviour can never recognize Catalonia as a country, I wonder how they will recognize Biafra too.
