Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. It's an honour for me to lead this debate in the name of Plaid Cymru, which will give us a first opportunity, as a National Assembly, to express an opinion about the situation in Catalonia. I do that with passion as a Welshman, as a European and as a democrat. I will give most of my comments this afternoon in the international language of first choice of the majority of Catalonians, which is English, in order to facilitate our message of cohesion and to contribute to the international debate at present.
