SOUNDBITE (Spanish), Alfonso Maria DASTIS QUECEDO, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, One of the objectives within the application of this article (155) is to implement it in a totally peaceful way, by restoring the coexistence in Catalunya and also ensuring the necessary stability to make possible for all Catalans to express their voice through elections.

SOUNDBITE (Spanish), Alfonso Maria DASTIS QUECEDO, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, the application of article 155 has been triggered by Spanish in spite of himself. All posible opportunities have been given to the Catalan Government and its president to avoid to get to where we are now. We would welcome any opportunity so the implementation will not take place. There is only one responsible of this situation and if he acts as to stop it, I am sure that at the Senate things can still be changed.
