Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez says talks with Catalonia's pro-independence regional government on region's separatist crisis would begin later this month
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, left, talks with Catalan regional President Quim Torra at the Palace of the Generalitat, the headquarters of the government of Catalonia, in Barcelona, February 6, 2020.
As expected, no major breakthrough came from the meeting on the divisive issue of Catalonia's independence from the rest of Spain."To restart the dialogue at the point where our paths diverged … I have come here to talk. I appreciate the tone and the willingness of President Torra. It was a respectful conversation between two presidents."
“If this marks the start of a new era, we will see. We still don’t know what the Spanish government would propose.” Any significant outcome of this new meeting is also in question as Torra’s future as the leader of Catalonia is in serious doubt.
