The Government has distributed to the media a three-page document explaining the proposal for a dialogue with the Generalitat and which, according to Vice-President Calmen Calvo, the Catalan Government has rejected and therefore has concluded the negotiation.
This is the entire content of the Government document.
The Pedralbes meeting held on December 20 ended with a joint statement that exposed the need to initiate an effective political dialogue. Specifically, the Governments of Spain and Catalonia agreed to affirm:
- The existence of a conflict over the future of Catalonia.
- Its commitment to an effective dialogue that conveys a political proposal that has broad support in Catalan society.
- That spaces for dialogue that allow meeting the needs of society and progress in a democratic response to the demands of the citizens of Catalonia, within the framework of legal security, should continue to be strengthened.
- That the path of dialogue will require the efforts of all institutions, political actors and citizens.
Likewise, it was added that both governments commit to work to make it possible. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the bases of this dialogue and the objectives that are intended.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the dialogue are those agreed in the Pedralbes Declaration. They are established within the framework of a democratic State of law that guarantees political pluralism, to whose defense we are all bound.

This effective dialogue is guaranteed both by the call of the bilateral commission and the table of parties. In this way, the spaces for dialogue already existing in the Congress of Deputies and in the Parliament are expanded and the objective is to analyze the proposals submitted for debate and approval.
2. Political responses.
Each of the parties will submit the proposals that it considers in their respective spaces, responding to the relationship proposed between Catalonia and the rest of Spain.
3. Broad support.
The objective will be the search for political responses that reach broad support from Catalan society.
4. Democratic response within the framework of legal security.
The democratic proposal resulting from the work of the spaces for dialogue must be articulated through the appropriate and possible legislative amendments.
