The Deputy Prime Minister made this statement after Puigdemont gave a speech saying that the Spanish King Felipe VI's speech had disappointed many Catalans and had ignored millions of citizens in Catalonia, Xinhua reported.
She criticised Puigdemont for reminding the King's duties and his comment on the King's speech saying "with this tone you had disappointed many people who respect you".
"I ask Puigdemont to respect Spain, Catalonia and its institutions", Santamaria said, also asking Puigdemont to respect especially the Catalans, "who do not deserve to see and live what they are living".
The Spanish King on Tuesday delivered a TV speech accusing the Catalan authorities of "breaking the Spanish constitution and autonomous status", saying that "with their decisions they have repeatedly broken the law systematically showing an inadmissible disloyalty to the powers of the state".
The regional government of Catalonia called for a referendum on independence on Sunday that had been declared illegal by the Spanish Constitutional Court as it breached the country's constitution.
