Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy vowed Friday to "restore legality" in Catalonia after the regional parliament declared independence, as Madrid was poised to take direct control of the wealthy region.
"I ask all Spaniards to remain calm. The rule of law will restore legality in Catalonia," he wrote in a Twitter message immediately after the Catalan assembly voted in favour of declaring independence from Spain.
