BBC Europe – Catalonia referendum: Spain PM calls for ‘escalation’ to stop. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has gone on national TV to urge Catalan separatists to abandon their plans for a referendum on 1 October. He asked the region’s government to give up its “escalation of radicalism and disobedience”. The Spanish authorities have sought to stop the vote, which they regard as illegal, by seizing voting materials.
