In the meeting, the State Secretary reiterated the profound discomfort caused by the latest statements made by the President of the Flemish Parliament, in his institutional capacity, in which he reaffirms his judgements regarding Spanish democracy which he had previously outlined in a letter sent recently to Came Forcadell.
The State Secretary for the European Union transmitted to the Belgian Ambassador that Spain is a full democracy, and that no international institution or Member Estate of the European Union questions this, as such he considers the statements from the President of the Flemish Parliament to be unacceptable for a country such as Spain that is a friend, ally and member of the EU.
