“I am surprised why Russia, which has been proposing a positive agenda for all these years of Spain, suddenly falls into some fakes about the fact that Russia is trying to harm Spain with its actions, which is a complete lie.
If we begin to study this problem in detail, we will see where those people who are here called separatists have found refuge.
To begin with, they are not in Russia, ”TASS quoted the ambassador as saying.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, demanded that The New York Times publish a refutation of an article published in the newspaper, which refers to the alleged contacts of employees of the former head of the Catalan government, Carles Puigdemont, in Moscow.
In March 2021, members of the European Parliament voted to deprive MEP Carles Puigdemont of parliamentary immunity.
In relation to him, as well as his associates in Spain, proceedings were initiated in connection with the referendum in Catalonia in 2017.
