MADRID - Spain’s acting prime minister Pedro Sanchez, seeking parliament’s backing to form a government, pledged to resolve the Catalan dispute through dialogue as he received renewed support from separatists in the restive region.
“What is going to break is the blockade of a progressive government democratically elected by the Spanish people,” Sanchez told deputies in opening remarks as he kicked off several days of debates and votes in parliament. Catalonia’s largest separatist party, Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya , on Saturday confirmed it would abstain rather than vote against Sanchez in the second and decisive vote on Tuesday.
“Surrendering to the worst radicals may make you prime minister, but you will not be able to govern,” Casado said during the debate. Meanwhile, the Catalan parliament was due to convene for a special session following the electoral board decision.
