a truly lead you to make a left said original government of the right and they're also demanding that apart from the you, when forming this investigative, to investigate atrocities that have been committed in these conflicts started in november, there should be another body international body formed to really truck and make sure that this demands this issues are implemented. now we haven't had any response from the government. prime minister, i'll be on medical to be addressing parliament tomorrow monday to discuss national issues. he may also be discussing a ti grew mater. parliamentarians are going to be asking questions by so difficult to see how the government is going to accept some of this month. for example, it has already labels p, p alas and its forces, terrorist organization. so for the government to come back and legitimize

among them working foreign emerged defiant and still committed to an independent apollonia and tend to more thought. but i feel strong. i don't regret anything and i'm convinced that it's necessary to keep fighting and that we will manage to get what we want. the former capital and interior minister under still exile president carlos pleased him all foreign said the leaders had agreed on a 2 year time table for talks with central government in madrid. and then i would see should we be positive? yes. personally, i'm not optimistic that in 2 years time, that will be great results. so i think we have to be ready to exit negotiations in 2 years with a roadmap decided by the pro independence parties for the way ahead. really question is why was scotland grunted referendum by the british government and here it's impossible. why did canada accept a referendum overcoat?

becky: and here it's impossible. the answer is clear, because here there is no real democracy in the unity of spain, it above everything else. and even the courts will violate basic rights for the unity of spain because the foreign said he didn't want to see a repeat of violence. that followed capital loan is unit natural referendum and declaration of independence in 2017, because we got to be met. but it's true that we've learned lessons, and of course, it would make no sense to repeat the same steps. so when we say we'll do it again, it's in the sense that we feel as committed as the 1st day to allowing the catalog people to decide the future. but it's true that we'll have to find new ways. this is a family re united, but with a clear sense that sacrifices may need to be made again, more content that i got on in today. i'm very happy and i can quite believe that

it's suddenly all over. but i'm also conscious that having him home and for prison does not mean that repression has made it hard to put the prize on being consistent or renouncing your principles. these are the values that sustain us in life. and if we are not true to them, then what is the point in living? the spanish government says it's willing to talk about other measures, greater autonomy, perhaps for capital own it, but will never grant an independence referendums. so for the phones and other so called independent tasters, there's a calculation to be made, whether they can ever achieve everything they want or what they may be willing to settle for. instead the price, in other words, of giving up the dream of independence. jonah, how al jazeera barcelona, one of the largest ransomware tax and history is for the swedish supermarket co op . to close all of its $800.00 stores, hoc left the retailers cash registers out of action. you talked again on friday when hack has hijacked software made by us based tech provided casea before
