After a unilateral consultation on independence and a vote last December failed to solve the deadlock between Barcelona and Madrid, a return to a negotiated constitutional agreement seems more out of reach than ever before. The arrest of some separatist leaders on one side, and radical calls to unilateral secession on the other, send discouraging signals for any possibility for mediation. Meanwhile, quite a few regional independence movements continue to gain momentum and rally around the Catalonian flag as a prelude to their own emancipation. Is Spain's constitution really beyond negotiation? Who decides which players should be brought to the table? Is a wider European dialogue possible and useful to bridge tensions? What should Germany and Brussels do? What implications do the events in Catalonia have for movements in places like Italy, France or the UK, let alone Eastern Europe and the Balkans? Join us for a discussion on the future of Catalonia and the European Union.
