Moderate business minister Catalonia resigned yesterday in the middle of independence after the Spanish region’s separatist President Carles Puigdemont ruled out elections and left the door open to a declaration of independence by the regional parliament saying i resigned. My attempts at dialogue have failed again, hope i was useful to president Carles Puigdemont and to Catalans until the last minute.

stserrat Spain’s Health Minister said that Vila “and possibly some other regional ministers” may resign if the Catalan government moved towards a unilateral declaration of independence.
Vila earlier this month accused a campaign launched by grassroots separatist groups urging Catalans to withdraw money from banks which had moved their legal headquarters out of Catalonia in recent weeks because of the uncertainty generated by the independence drive.
Meanwhile Vila had served as business minister since July. He took over from Jordi Baiget who was forced out of the regional government after expressing doubt over whether an independence referendum opposed by Madrid would go ahead.
