Catalonia's President Accuses Spain Government of 'Totalitarian' Behavior

Catalonia President Accuses Spain Government Of Totalitarian Behavior.

Catalonia's president has accused Spain's government of "totalitarian" behaviour, after police arrested Josep Maria Jove, the region's junior economy minister and 12 others in raids of Catalan government offices in the run-up to a planned independence referendum.

Carles Puigdemont, the regional leader, denounced Wednesday's operation as "a coordinated aggression by the Spanish government’s police force" in order to stop the Catalans from going ahead with the October 1 vote. 

"We condemn and reject the anti-democratic and totalitarian actions of the Spanish state," he said.

Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy defended the crackdown, saying that the operations in Catalonia were the result of legal rulings and were to ensure the rule of law.

''The government is fulfilling its obligation and I have to say that we will continue to do so until the end, he added.
