Catalonia must have a government ‘as soon as possible,’ says Italian ex-PM

Italy’s former prime minister Enrico Letta has said that dialogue between the Spanish government and Catalan independence leaders is essential. Letta told Catalan News that in order to have an interlocutor that can engage in talks with Madrid, Catalonia should have a new government “as soon as possible.”

“In my opinion and according to my political experience, any negotiation and any solution are only possible when there is an interlocutor. And today there’s no one because Catalonia has no government, and I think it’s essential to solve this problem,” said Letta.
