The
Spanish government said on Tuesday regional police will take control
of any voting booths before a Catalan referendum on independence this
weekend which it deems illegal.
For
its part the Catalan regional government said the vote will go ahead
and it sent out notifications to Catalans to man polling booths.
The
row has plunged the country into one its biggest political crises
since the restoration of democracy four decades ago. “Today we
can affirm that there will be no effective referendum in Catalonia.
All the referendum’s logistics have been dismantled,” the
Spanish government’s representative in Catalonia, Enric Millo, said
on Tuesday.
