For the European Commission this issue is internal to Spain. Therefore, it is necessary to solve it in accordance with the constitutional system of Spain.

On this Monday, October 2, at a daily briefing in Brussels, said the representative of the European Commission Margaritis Skinas. At the same time, he recalled that Catalonia will be outside the European Union if it withdraws from Spain.

At the same time, Skinas noted that the European Commission calls on Spain and Catalonia to move from confrontation to dialogue, since violence can not solve the situation. We trust the leadership of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to resolve this complex process with full respect for the Spanish Constitution and the fundamental rights of citizens, "said Skinas.

Recall, October 1 in Catalonia is a referendum on the independence of the region from Spain.

As reported URA-Inform, as a result of the collisions that occurred during the voting, 465 injured citizens. According to the department of public health of the Catalan nationalist, among the injured there are two people with serious injuries.
