18-Jun-18 TV News: ‘Call for dialogue intensifies ahead of meeting’

Why do more than 2 million Catalans want to break away from Spain? This is what the Catalan and Spanish presidents should address in their upcoming meeting, according to the spokesperson for the Catalan executive, Elsa Artadi. Preparations are already underway for a crucial meeting between Quim Torra and Pedro Sánchez. Although there is not a set date for the summit yet, their teams are already working on the issues at stake. Meanwhile, opposition parties in Spain, such as Ciutadans and the People's Party , are accusing the new Socialist president of going soft on pro-independence politicians. Today is also the day in which Torra also met with trade unions, trade associations, and the mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau. / ACN
