• From Prada de Conflent, the Junts leader said Madrid is late yet still “in time” to win EU recognition for Catalan.
• He credited recent messaging by Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares and called the Spanish dossier legally and economically sound.
• He cast the remaining obstacles as political, accusing the Partido Popular and the German government of blocking the move.
• He signaled patience through summer but warned Junts will reassess in the autumn and could explore litigation if progress stalls.
• He linked the decline in Catalan’s social use to weak state resources and unmet integration policies for newcomers.
