President of the Government receives Leader of Izquierda Unida, Alberto Garzón

Moncloa Palace, Madrid

The meeting is framed within the round of contacts that the President of the Government has initiated in light of the breakaway process in Catalonia. Last week, Mariano Rajoy met with the Leader of the Opposition, Pedro Sánchez, the President of Ciudadanos, Albert Rivera, and the General Secretary of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias. On Tuesday, he is due to receive the President of the Government Committee of Unió Democrática de Cataluña [Democratic Union of Catalonia], Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida, and the Spokesperson of UPyD [Union, Progress and Democracy], Andrés Herzog.
