The Trudeau government continues to flee like the plague any questions about the violence in Catalonia, despite the insistence of the opposition and journalists in Ottawa.

The Bloc québécois has attempted to take out the federal liberals for their silence by filing a motion in the canadian Parliament to condemn ” the violent repression orchestrated by the Spanish government in the referendum of catalan on October 1, 2017 “.

But the manoeuvre failed because of the mps of the two sides of the House have refused to discuss the issue.

Several times, on Monday, the minister of foreign Affairs, asked by chrystia Freeland, has refused to give his opinion to the media that he tended the microphone.

Arrested at the period of questions from the NDP, Ms. Freeland has responded, in English only, that Canada values its relationship with Spain “and that” the issue of Catalonia is an internal affair ” in this country.

It is also concerned by the violence that marked the referendum Sunday, with some 900 injured.

Overall, the international community and the european Union have also avoided angering Madrid, contrary to all the political parties in Quebec.
