The deputy PM termed Puigdemont's statement as "embarrassing".
The Catalan parliament is set to declare independence from Spain next Monday even as thousands of Catalans rallied in fury on Tuesday during a general strike over violence by Spanish riot police against voters taking part in the referendum.
On Sunday, almost 91 people were injured when Spanish riot police fired rubber bullets and forced their way into activist-held polling stations as thousands flooded the streets to vote in an independence referendum declared illegal by the Spanish government and courts.
