Policy Brief

“Citizens of Catalonia,

We are here because we have summoned ourselves to defend coexistence, pluralism and solidarity. And we must defend them. Because coexistence has been ruptured in this country. And we need to rebuild it. Political pluralism must be defended because it is not being recognised. “

Josep Borrell, Chair of the FEPS Scientific Council, former President of the European Parliament

Estamos aquí porque nos han convocado para defender la convivencia, el pluralismo y la solidaridad. Y falta hace que lo hagamos. Porque la convivencia se ha roto en este país. Hay que volver a rehacerla. Hay que defender el pluralismo político, porque no se reconoce.
