The decisions of the President of the Generalitat were badly received by almost all: radical independentistas and Catalan non-independentistas. As for the government, the position remains: it's all illegal. And promise a reaction, as consensual as possible.Carles Puigdemont proclaimed the independence of Catalonia at 7:36 pm local time, to say a few seconds later that it was suspended, to give way to the decompression of Spanish society as a whole and to promote the dialogue between Barcelona and Madrid. The pro-independence crowd that remained at the gates of the Catalan parliament was silent in astonishment, as the dozens of television cameras pointed out to her.

The government spokeswoman emphasized that "there are no conclusions or consequences to draw from a law that does not exist because of a referendum that did not exist." In this way, the executive affirms that it does not recognize any independence, since there is no legal framework to be proclaimed whether or not it is independent.
