Spanish PM Rejects Negotiations with Catalan Leader Puigdemont

Despite the election results in Catalonia two days ago, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy says he will not negotiate with Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont. Puigdemont had offered to talk to Rajoy, albeit not in Spain but in a foreign country. He’s currently hiding in Belgium, knowing full well that he will be arrested the very moment he sets foot in Spanish territory.

“Prime Minister Rajoy has a wonderful opportunity to start siding with the solution seekers and to not create any more problems than he has already created,” Puigdemont said after the elections.

Instead of talking to Puigdemont, Rajoy says he’s only willing to talk to Inés Arrimadas, leader of the pro-unity Ciutadans (Citizens) party. Although the Ciutadans became the biggest party in Catalonia’s parliament, its pro-unity allies lost seats. In the end, the pro-secession parties took 70 seats, two seats more than the 68 required to keep their majority.
