The president of the European Commission (EC), Jean-Claude Juncker, will meet with the new president of Catalonia “if there is a request” and to be “evaluated depending on what they want to speak about.” This was divulged by the EC representative in Barcelona, Ferran Tarradellas, in an exclusive interview with the Catalan News Agency (ACN).  

Tarradellas noted that the Luxembourg official “sees many people,” further downplayed the importance of the fact that no Catalan president has met with the highest European Commission official since Juncker took the post four years ago. In time for Europe Day on May 9, Catalan News interviewed Tarradellas to hear his thoughts on voting, the European Union crises, and the Catalan situation.
