Despite all the downsides of the independence's showdown since the referendum (the impact on the economy, no international support, ...) the separatists are still very close to retain the control the Parliament.
Maybe Madrid is in a more comfortable position, but it's fragile. If there is a pacific resistance against Madrid in the Catalonian administration, how Madrid will react to impose its decisions? They can't use force, that could potentially backfire. Any strong measure against the secessionists could create sympathy for the secessionist movement (I believe the secessionists leaders hope for that, to play the victims of an arbitrary central power).
And if the secessionists decide to boycott the election, could the pro-independence mayors refuse to organize the elections?
