Ambiguity, is the right word.
The only sure thing is that Rajoy is fucked.

The Spanish Unionists thought they'd do better hence the election in the first place and this is what happens when you only listen to your own biased news. The Popular Party lost votes to a Catalan pro Spain party(Citizens) which in itself is a confidence boost to Barcelona.
Reminds me of Theresa May holding the UK election and causing more havoc.
Supreme Court Broadens Catalan Rebellion Investigation To Include Artur Mas And Five Others
Supreme Court judge Pablo Llarena has decided to broaden the probe into the process that led to a declaration of independence in Catalonia on October 27 and include former First Minister Artur Mas and five others in his investigation of rebellion, sedition and the misuse of public funds, the Supreme Court confirmed on Friday morning.
Judge Llarena says in a ruling that the six additional suspects were part of the strategic leadership group that drove the Catalan independence process in the previous parliament.
They have also been "identified as participants in some of the meetings that were supposedly used to come up with and carry out the break up process being investigated", says the ruling.
The five others are Anna Gabriel (CUP), Marta Rovira (ERC), Mireia Boyá (CUP), Marta Pascal (PDeCat) and Neus Lloveras, the chairwoman of the Association of Pro-independence Towns (AMI).
Judge Llarena says they all played a "leading and noteworthy role" in the process.
This is the same investigation being carried out into Carles Puigdemont and the entire former regional government, as well as several former members of the Catalan Parliament, and the (former) chairmen of the Catalan National Assembly and Omnium Cultural, Jordi Sánchez and Jordi Cuixart.
Several former members of the Catalan government, including the former Deputy First Minister and leader of Republican Catalan Left, Oriol Junqueras, as well as Messrs. Sánchez and Cuixart, remain in jail on remand in Madrid.
Mr. Puigdemont is still in self-imposed exile in Brussels, with a Spanish arrest warrant sill outstanding should he choose to return to Spain.
Former Catalan Police (Mossos) chief Josep Lluis Trapero and one other Mossos officer are being investigated for their roles in the independence process at the National High Court in Madrid, not the Supreme Court.

If PP had inteligent people, Rajoy shouldnt follow as PP leader, because he is a very bad politician and leader. With these catalonians elections he favoured his main enemies Puigdemont and Ciudadanos.
Puigdemont is nowadays stronger than before aplication of 155. He and exconvergencia people are leaders of catalonian separatism, and in my opinion they are more dangerous for spaniards than ERC.
On the other hand, Rajoy have promoted Ciudadanos in these catalonian elections when they are competing by same ideological spectrum in Spain, while catalonian PP have had a ridiculous voting. Probably many Ciudadanos voters would vote for PP or PSOE in spanish elections, but if they get realized that PP-PSOE isnt the only option, would be very dangerous for PP-PSOE. Fortunately for PP-PSOE spanish electoral law protect them.
Spanish newspapers criticize catalonian electoral law who favoured less populated provinces of Girona and LLeida were separatists are very strong, when catalonia electoral law is the same as spanish electoral which is mainly in favour of PP-PSOE, and against Ciudadanos, Podemos, IU or ancient UPyD.

Inés Arrimadas (Ciutadans leader) has nothing to do. She won elections but independentism has ate her xDDDD
Attachment 71178
The solution is elections again next month.
if separatists don't get an agreement on who will be president of catalonia possibly we will have another election soon.
and who knows, this weird situation has made grow resentment and an atmosphere of distrust between the two big independits parties.
this is like a race :rolleyes: PP making indepes with their policial and judicial actions and indepes making anti-indepes with their stupidity and crazyness... and in the meantime the economy and society of catalonia going to shit.
If PP had inteligent politicians, they would win spanish elections always, but they are full non capable men an women and very corrupt. They are also very hypocrite. I dont understand why Leopoldo López is a political prisoner and Jordis arent.
Ancient convergencia have superiority complex against ERC. If Puigdemot dont return, Junqueras has to be president. If Pugdemont want to be president, has to return and acept that he can go to prison like Junqueras is nowadays. Junqueras in this elections has been in inferiority situation, because he hasnt been in TV or radios, while Puigdemont has been everyday in TV in Belgium. Puigdemont cant be president living in Belgium.
Yes! Of course! Spain is so evil with this Region.
