Catalan leaders in Brussels not planning any new regional elections

Catalonia’s regional foreign affairs advisor Raul Romeva i Rueda rejected the idea of holding new regional elections on Wednesday 18 October.  Catalan leaders have until 19 October to clarify to the Spanish government whether they are really planning to declare independence for their region based on the outcome of the 1 October referendum (see EUROPE 11884).

New elections are not part of our scenario and "we will not be resigning", said Romeva i Rueda at a press conference in Brussels.
