MADRID - Spain’s acting prime minister Pedro Sanchez, seeking parliament’s backing to form a government, set out his priorities on Saturday and tried to lower temperatures in the bitter debate over Catalonia by calling for dialogue.
“Spain is not going to break, the Constitution is not going to break. 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 voting. Catalonia’s largest separatist party, Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya , agreed to abstain in the second and decisive vote on Tuesday after Sanchez agreed to hold a dialogue over the region’s future and submit its conclusions to Catalan voters.
Sanchez said he wanted to resume dialogue rather than hammer out the dispute through Spain’s courts, but said he would address the issues within Spain’s constitutional framework.
