What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Puigdemont ? Regional president Carles Puigdemont  criticized the European Commission in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press for turning "deaf ears" so far to Catalonia's desire to hold a vote.
 Puigdemont  also said that the Commission has turned its back on Catalans by not defending the fundamental rights of all European citizens during the controversial measures adopted by Spain's courts and central authorities to try to stop the vote.
In the interview four days ahead of the vote   Puigdemont  also promised to turn the conflict with Spain into a European affair rather than a domestic issue.

House Democrats just barely made up for the defections on the GOP side. A total of 73 Democrats voted for the legislation  while 67 Republicans voted against it.
In his closing remarks   Ryan  noted the bipartisan 71-28 Senate tally  and said that 75 percent of Senate Democrats and 68 percent of Senate Republicans had voted for it.

The early vote took place because of Sen. Rand Paul who blocked action in the Senate for must of Thursday with a demand on an amendment leaving previous ceilings on federal spending in place.
