The president of the Spanish government closes the door on any possibility of negotiating the agreement on the date and the questions
The Spanish prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, is very clear about the consultation agreed by the Catalan pro self-determination parties today: "the consultation shall not take place." This is what he said. In fact, he "guaranteed" it in a press conference in which he stated that the consultation "is radically contrary to the Constitution and collides head on with the very foundation of the Constitution, the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation".
Furthermore, Rajoy said that the Spanish government "cannot authorize or negotiate anything that belongs to all Spaniards," since "to say what Spain is and how it is organized behoves to the whole of Spain." "Neither I nor any government are able to give, permit or consent to deprive the Spanish from the rights that the laws and the Constitution guarantee," he added.
Thus Rajoy closed the door on any kind of dialogue whilst assuring that the possibility of agreeing the consultation is "out of all discussion and negotiation", and appealed to the "responsibility of the President of the Catalan Government to fulfil his commitment not to violate the laws".
The president of the Spanish government also stressed that the agreement of the opposition leader Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba "is total."
