Debate on the process of Catalan sovereignty at the Senate of Paraguay
Similar debates took place recently at the Parliaments of Denmark, Ireland and Uruguay
various Parliaments worldwide are showing their interest on the current
political situation in Catalonia and the process of sovereignty. This is
the case of Paraguay, where today a representative of the Government of
Catalonia has spoken on the plebiscitary character of this election and
the possible consequences if the result is favourable to independence
from Spain.
Both the Government of Catalonia and the Public Diplomacy Council of
Catalonia (DIPLOCAT) respond to these parliamentary petitions. Today it
was Francesca Guardiola, Director General for Foreign Affairs at the
Government of Catalonia, who spoke at the International Relations
Commission of the Parliament of Paraguay, in the Senate Building. The
President of the Commission, Víctor Bogado, hosted the session, attended
by senators from all poltical parties.
Less than one month to go to the 27S election, Francesca Guardiola
has underlined its plebiscitary and exceptional character, resulting
from the fact that the Spanish government refused to accept any kind of
referendum or consultation on the issue. She also talked about the
democratic, peaceful and integrative character of the Catalan sovereign
movement, a fact that can be verified again at the demonstration
scheduled for 11 September, on catalonia’s National Day.
