On this day of hope and suffering, Catalonia s citizens have earned the right to have an independent state in the form of a republic,  Carles Puigdemont said in a televised address, surrounded by members of his government.  My government, in the next few days will send the results of today s vote to the Catalan Parliament, where the sovereignty of our people lies, so that it can act in accordance with the law of the referendum,  he also said. The law of the referendum foresees a unilateral declaration of independence by the regional parliament of Catalonia if the majority votes to leave Spain.
