Nordic Council refuses to mediate Catalonia conflict
By EUobserver
By a vote of 62 against 12, the Nordic Council decided on Wednesday in Oslo not to engage in a mediation of the conflict between Catalonia and Madrid over independence, as it would fall outside the scope of the council and should be considered an internal Spanish affair. Faroe Island MP Magni Arge announced he would personally visit Catalonia's former parliament speaker Carme Forcadell in jail.
