We believe dialogue and negotiation should form the framework to solving the political problems affecting us today. In accordance with this conviction, we have repeatedly insisted on dialogue as the only way to approach these problems and restore the effective functioning of Catalonia's institutions.
The extraordinary situation in which we find ourselves forces everyone to act with the maximum of responsibility in order to favour a negotiated and democratic solution to the conflict.
