Not a shocker. No more weasel words , a straight and unambiguous response ( either way ) , is required.
Deadlines...
Next steps depend upon Puigdemont response to Rajoy.
Will Madrid apply article 155? On Weds Rajoy declared there is no possibility of mediation with the Catalan govt 
5 days to clarify whether independence declaration made -depending on what Puigdemont says , 3 days to rectify.

LATEST: Times correspondent confirms John Carlin has been sacked by El País after publishing article in The Times on Catalan crisis.
This is Carlin's article in The Times on October 7: "Catalan independence: arrogance of Madrid explains this chaos".
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/catalan-independence-arrogance-of-madrid-explains-this-chaos-vmh7nnxsx …
And as we knew ahead of time , there won't be mediation or negotiation between Central Gov't and Catalan Gov't.
Spanish president flatly rejects mediation: "There's no possibility for mediation between democratic law and disobedience or illegality"
