PSOE Seeks End‑September Meeting With Junts as Mediated Talks Stall

Sánchez promises a new regional financing model this legislature to ease Catalan tensions.

Overview

  • Moncloa requested another face‑to‑face with Junts before the end of September after the latest mediated session abroad produced no advances.
  • Junts leaders, including Jordi Turull, warned they will take a decision in autumn if there are no tangible concessions from the PSOE.
  • If accepted, it would be the third meeting in less than a month with an international mediator, following recent rounds in Belgium and Switzerland.
  • Turull reiterated that Junts wants political steps on amnesty and recognition, including urging the PSOE to file complaints against judges Llarena and Marchena as a symbolic gesture.
  • The next contact is set to come after Congress is expected to reject the Catalan immigration delegation law due to Podemos’s opposition, underscoring the government’s fragile arithmetic.
