Key quotes:

- On Puigdemont & Co: They have a majority to govern Catalonia but not to make a unilateral declaration of independence (UDI).
- Can the dialogue exist in a situation like this one? Definitely. Can the 'living together' framework be improved? Undoubtedly.
- It's also possible to speak of all what constitution and laws allow to speak and with all those ones that want to speak about it.
