Spain's king has said the leaders of Catalonia have broken the law and shown an inadmissible lack of loyalty.
Addressing the nation after days of unrest, King Felipe said the region's leaders had behaved irresponsibly and are risking the whole country's economic stability.
He went on to back Spain's government, saying the Catalan referendum for independence was illegal and undemocratic, and adding that the state needs to ensure constitutional order and the rule of law.
"Today Catalan society is fractured and in conflict," he said, referring to the crisis as a "very serious moment for our democratic life".
"These authorities have despised the affections and solidarity feelings that have united and will unite all Spaniards."
