The government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy held emergency talks after Catalan President Carles Puigdemont declared Sunday that the region had won the right to break away from Spain, AFP wrote. Images of riot police beating up would-be voters with batons and firing rubber bullets to disperse crowds during Sunday’s referendum in the wealthy northeastern region shocked many in Spain and its neighbors in Europe. Puidgemont appealed on Monday for international mediation to help solve the crisis, and called for all police sent in to Catalonia for the vote to be removed. “It is not a domestic matter,” Puigdemont told a news conference on Monday. “It’s obvious that we need mediation.” In its first reaction on Monday, the European Union urged all sides to “move very swiftly from confrontation to dialogue” and said vio- lence should not be part of politics. A jubilant Puigdemont said late Sunday that 90 percent of voters taking part in the referendum had voted for independence for Cata- lonia, defying the police crackdown and the fierce opposition from Madrid.
