The Catalan Socialists called the president, Quim Torra, to not "disregard half a country" on Wednesday evening in Manresa.

Its leader, Miquel Iceta, reacted to the institutional event to support the relatives of the jailed leaders before them being transferred to Madrid by telling Torra that "more than half Catalonia does not think" like him.

"You cannot disregard the needs, problems and concerns of more than half of the country," he said.
