The Catalan president, Quim Torra, wants to promote dialogue within the country and therefore has summoned all party leaders in Parliament to a summit on November 16.  

He is aiming to “go into depth in dialogue” on Catalonia, as he revealed on Wednesday in a plenary session in the Catalan chamber.

He said political forces should engage in “serious and honest conversations about what the country needs.”

This comes after the Parliament passed a motion brought up by the Socialists requesting said meeting.

Its leader, Miquel Iceta, said that “Catalans need this internal debate.”
