Governor Carles Puigdemont continued to face strong criticism from European politicians due to Catalonia’s controversial moves. Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau, however, urged Catalonia’s leader not to unilaterally declare independence warning that it will risk social unity. Nathalie Loiseau, France's minister of European affairs, said any declaration of independence would leave Catalonia isolated. She said if independence were to be declared, the most immediate consequence would be that the Catalans would automatically be ejected from the European Union.
