Sánchez: “Catalonia will not be free, under me”

The first pro-indy demon­stra­tion in Madrid, hit at the heart of the Span­ish par­ties, and left a large echo in the cap­i­tal. Pedro Sánchez as­serted that Cat­alo­nia would never reach in­de­pen­dence with him as Span­ish leader. Pablo Casado of the PP went fur­ther and said that under his hy­po­thet­i­cal rule, demon­stra­tions like Sat­ur­day’s would be banned (re­gard­less of what Ar­ti­cle 21 of the Con­sti­tu­tion says). Strik­ing a bal­ance, Miguel Iceta of the PSC said he feared under a rule by the right wing, only those who thought like them would be al­lowed to demon­strate.
