The Catalan regional government announced that it would temporarily suspend its publicity campaign for the referendum as it worked to overrule the Spanish court’s decision. A spokesperson for the Catalan government, Francesc Homs, said, “nothing has ended and the government (Catalan) is determined to move forward. We can’t give the signal that we have given up.”
The protests saw clashes between police and demonstrators who attempted to perform a sit in outside Spanish government buildings in Barcelona.
