Catalan foreign minister contacts Native American officials to 'dissociate' himself from Spanish counterpart

The Catalan foreign minister, Alfred Bosch, has sent a letter to four American Native members of US Congress and the main associations supporting this community to "dissociate" himself from the latest controversial Spanish counterpart remarks.

"All they did was kill four Indians," said Josep Borrell on Tuesday to justify why the United States is more politically integrated than other countries.

His comments sparked outrage, especially in the American native community –on Friday his Catalan counterpart, Alfred Bosch, said in the letter that Borrell's remarks show "heartlessness and insensitivity towards the genocide of the American natives."
