There's a serious and worrying return to the fall of democracy in Spain, and it's not just us who are realising that.

Spain's constitution was introduced to cement democracy after Franco's dictatorship, but this government is exploiting its wording as a means to deny us our right to vote.

I think, in Spain, they are too used to reaching the limits of democracy and then stepping over them.

We must have serious dialogue between Catalonia and the Spanish state on a referendum, on independence, and on how a separation from Spain - if that's what the Catalan people choose - would be accomplished.

The welfare of Catalonia is only possible outside of Spain.

The return to normality is a defeat for the terrorists.
