spanish prime minister mariano rajoy, in a video message, said that the scottish have avoided serious consequences and "have chosen the most favourable option for everyone; for themselves, for all of britain and for the rest of europe". iñigo urkullu, the president of the basque country, stated on the day of the referendum that as the british government had allowed scotland to freely decide its own future, the responsibility of the basque government was to "follow scotland's footsteps" in securing a similar agreement in spain. artur mas, president of the generalitat of catalonia, described the referendum as a model for a future vote in the catalonia, and said "what happened in scotland is not a setback for us, because what we really want in catalonia is to have the chance to vote". on the day after the scottish referendum, the catalan parliament voted to hold a "popular consultation" on catalan independence. the spanish government said that such a vote would be unconstitutional, but a referendum was held on 9 november 2014 anyway. the large majority (80%) voted for catalonia to be an independent country, although two-thirds of catalans did not participate in the referendum.
