Catalan leader delays speech, Madrid rejects possible mediation
BARCELONA, Spain — Catalonia’s leader Carles Puigdemont delayed his speech Tuesday on possible independence as he held last-minute “contacts for an international mediation,” a regional government spokesman said, a claim immediately rejected by Madrid.
“It’s not on the cards,” a central government spokesman said, as Madrid waits anxiously to see if Puigdemont will announce a breakaway from Spain.
