January 17th will be the day when the new Catalan parliament must hold the first session, while within 10 days of the new parliament's election, the new president must be elected.
“I hope as soon as we have a Catalan government that is open to dialogue and can answer all the people, not just half of it,” declared Rajoy in an address to the end of the year. As for the possibility that former Freedom Charles Puigdemont of the government from Brussels where he is in self-declared asylum, Rajoy described the idea as absurd. According to the Spanish head of state, such an issue does not need legal answers, but a response based on practical opinion.
The prime minister's announcement comes a week after the Catalan separatist parties won the majority in early elections.
