Support he knows he won't get because people outside of Catalonia probably don't really care, or if they do, it's to keep it as part of Spain.Puigdemont has declared that he and his ministers are now a government in exile. He demands that the upcoming elections be turned into an official referendum on Catalonian independence, although he has promised to accept the outcome if it is in favour of Spain.Puigdemont still hasn't gotten it into his head that 1. elections don't work that way and that 2. the constitution still needs to be changed which requires political support outside of Catalonia, either from parties or voters, which likely has been blown due to pulling the independence trigger too early.

@cathar: It's a Dutch name.... I'm sure French has names that sound silly to others.
Anyhow, bbc article http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41819940 He's said that he'd accept the results of the snap election, but wonders if the government would abide by the results since chances are high that it'll end up with a similar composition. The Spanish government apparently said that he could take part in the fresh polls, I think. Also, he said that he'll return to Spain if the government gives him some guarantees.
Nah, hopeful xenophobia. Unwashed is undefined, but one can assume they likely didn’t include themselves in what they meant.I agree, it sounded more like it was about gleeful murder.No, I don't think you're joking. It's a ludicrous idea to be sure, but a very common one throughout history when people have let themselves conflate contempt with intellectualism.Who said anything about intellectualism?
