Question 7552 — foreign policy

Summary

The President of the Republic, the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs and the Minister responsible for European Affairs have expressed a consistent position regarding the situation in Catalonia. As friends, neighbors, European partners, France supports legality and constitutional unity in Spain, guarantors of respect for the rule of law. The European authorities and other member states have the same reading of this situation. Jean-Claude Juncker and Frans Timmermans notably recalled that the Spanish constitutional order was part of the European legal architecture and alerted us to what constitutes the fragmentation and division of Europe. No European government has recognized the unilateral declaration of independence voted by the Catalan Parliament on October 27, nor called for European mediation, marking common support for respect of the Spanish rule of law. France has confidence in the ability of Spanish democracy to overcome these difficulties within the framework of the rule of law and European values. In the interest of all, France hopes, as the President of the Republic has underlined, that stability and confidence can return quickly to Catalonia.
