I’m very disappointed to hear the response of the Cabinet Secretary. I know that he has a sense of history and I suspect that what he’s telling us doesn’t sit comfortably on his shoulders, given the relationship between Wales and Catalunya and the wider relationship between the progressive peoples of Wales and Catalunya, going back over 75 years. All we’re asking for from the Welsh Government is no more than what FC Barcelona has stated themselves:

‘to democracy, to freedom of speech, and to self-determination’, and to condemn

‘any act that may impede the free exercise of these rights.’

If a football club in the capital city of Catalunya can say that, then I think that the Welsh Government can say it—just standing in solidarity with a similar devolved Government that, at this moment, is having its offices raided, its members harassed and whose Parliament is being challenged by a central Spanish state. I know that I’ve had support for an open letter to go to the Presiding Officer of the Catalan Parliament from many Members here. I intend to send that this evening. I hope that other Members will take the opportunity, finally, to support that as I think we should at least stand, as a Parliament, shoulder to shoulder with other Parliaments, to simply say that you have the right to ask your people what their future should be.
