SCOTLAND
will emerge as the winner whether or not the country backs independence
in a second referendum, according to the speaker of the Catalan
parliament.
And Carme Forcadell, who could face a ban from public
office for allowing her parliament to vote on a referendum, again
called on the Spanish government to enter into a dialogue with
Catalonia, instead of using the legal system to avoid a discussion on
independence.
Her comments came in a wide-ranging interview with
Pau Llosa, Edinburgh-based correspondent for Catalan newspapers El Món
and La Directa, in which she also said the people of Scotland should not
be dragged out of Europe against their will.
