[HIGHLIGHTS] Gregorio Marañón: "PSOE and PP must agree on a closure for Catalonia and the Basque Country within the State, and then agree with the nationalists"

His grandfather always defended freedom and tolerance against the two Spains. Polarization transcends the government and the opposition.

We have a fairly clear problem in Catalonia that goes way back. Another latent, but permanently emerging, in the Basque Country. It will be necessary to agree on what closure can be given to the issue of Catalonia and the Basques Country within the State. That closure must be agreed first between PSOE and PP, and then with the peripheral nationalist parties themselves. The process is not easy but a prior agreement would have every chance of prospering.
