The President of Catalonia outlined a three stage process following the 9N referendum on independence: 1) Hold elections for a transpartisan candidacy to pursue independence, winning an absolute majority. This legislature would last 18 months to prepare Catalonia's independence. 2) The legislature would notify the international community of Catalonia's plea to become a state and negotiate its outcome, while preparing new state structures and a constitution. 3) Hold constituent elections and ratify independence via referendum, allowing citizens to definitively proclaim independence with full knowledge of the cause.

Elections to have consultation on the independence of Catalonia
in a way that cannot be obstructed by the State
The elections should comprise a transversal candidacy made up of civil society and political
parties capable of winning an absolute majority with a programme the international community
undoubtedly would identifies as a ‘Yes’ to independence.
The political parties would be left in the background although there would be guarantees established
for their continuity in the subsequent elections.The independents would not be able to present
themselves again; furthermore, President Mas could either lead the candidate list or close it.
A legislature lasting 18 months to prepare the independence
The Parliament would notify the international community regarding Catalonia’s plea to become a
State and would initiate negotiations for its outcome. It would then prepare the necessary State
structures and would initiate a participative process to establish a constitution of Catalonia.
Constituent elections and ratify by referendum
the will to become an independent State
The citizenry of Catalonia, in an exceptional act, would elect a constituent Parliament and
would ratify by referendum, with the full knowledge of the cause and in a definitive manner, the
proclamation of independence.
In these elections, the political parties would present themselves as such.
