Portugal’s President, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, phone the King of Spain on Saturday to let him know that Portugal does not acknowledge Catalonia as a separate state, despite its recent declaration of independence.

A statement was issued by the government before the president called the monarch, in which Portugal’s government saw fit to criticise Catalonia’s declaration of independence, saying it was an attack on Spain’s constitutional rights.
