Graham Watson

Member of the European Parliament and President of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party – England

“I’m certainly not opposed to a referendum in Catalonia if that is what the Catalan people want, nor would I have any problem with a self-governing Catalonia within the European Union. (…) The EU has to be a sufficiently strong but sufficiently flexible entity to allow people to express themselves within it. That may mean some changes of boundaries. But we are democrats and if that is what the majority want, then that is what must happen.” 22.10.13
