Spain's leader Pedro Sánchez is in favor of holding a meeting with the Catalan president, Quim Torra, despite the fact that the Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the Spanish electoral board decision to strip him of his MP status.
Talking to the press after the first new Spanish cabinet meeting, Sánchez said he has "no problem" when it comes to sitting down alongside Torra.
"He is still the Catalan president," he added, expressing that he wants to see him "as soon as possible."
