‎BREAKING : Catalan President Stops Short of Declaring Immediate Independence

Catalonia's separatist leader backed down from a declaration of independence from Spain that would take immediate effect, opening the door to negotiations with Madrid.

The move could prolong the tense political standoff between the Catalan government and Madrid. Catalan President Carles Puigdemont told the regional parliament that support for independence in the Oct. 1 referendum had earned Catalonia the right to become a separate state.

Mr. Puigdemont cited that result in declaring the wealthy Spanish region an independent republic, but then handed responsibility to regional lawmakers, asking them to suspend that declaration temporarily to allow Catalan leaders more time to negotiate secession with the central government in Madrid.
