Madrid's streets are flooded by protesters: We don't want talks with Catalonia!

Tens of thousands filled Madrid's streets in a protest organised by the right parties against government plans to ease tensions with Catalonia.

The People's Party PP and Ciudadanos (Citizens) were the marching initiatives coming in response to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's decision to offer separatists a rapporteur for talks. The right consider the offer of treason and surrender. Separatists, in each case, rejected the Spanish executive leader's proposal. Sanchezi himself accused the protesters of dividing the Spanish people.

The “are gathering against one person, against me, since I was the leader of the opposition and the legislation was held in Catalonia, I remained, as leader of the opposition, in front of the People's Party government”, Pedro Sanchez, prime minister of Spain. The far-right groups, including Vox party, were also present in the protest held under the slogan “for a united Spain. Choices now! According to police, their number was over 45,000.

Sanchez insists that his Socialist party has always been on the side of the dialogue and that he is now trying to resolve a crisis exacerbated by the popular party while in power. / TCh/
