Quim Torra urges dialogue for democratic solution to tensions following a fifth consecutive night of violence
Catalonia’s president, Quim Torra, has called for talks with the Spanish government after Friday’s huge, peaceful march held in protest at the jailing of nine pro-independence Catalan leaders was followed by a fifth consecutive night of violent unrest in Barcelona and others parts of the region.

Speaking on Saturday morning, Torra again condemned the violence of recent days, adding: “Violence has never been our flag.”
