Catalonia continues to send letters requesting consideration for independence.

Spanish newspapers reported on October 5th that Catalonia's President Quim Torra had once again sent a letter urging the Spanish government to engage in dialogue regarding the region's desire for independence. In addition to requesting Madrid to hold a dialogue as soon as possible, Quim Torra also sent copies of the letter, written in English, to the governments of 43 countries, including the United States, Russia, and China.

The Catalan leader continues to send letters requesting recognition of independence, although this has not yielded much success.

Reportedly, Torra sent letters to the leaders of Russia, the United States, and China, as these countries are permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. The letters also urged prosecutors to drop charges against him and others detained during the 2017 referendum crisis.

Recently, Catalan officials have been continuously pressuring the Spanish government for recognition of their independence. In early October, Quim Torra threatened to withdraw his parliamentary support for Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez if the latter did not agree to a mechanism for Catalan self-determination within a month.

Nevertheless, the Spanish government rejected the ultimatum, asserting that Madrid would focus on dialogue across multiple areas with Catalonia to resolve the current political crisis.

Catalonia was granted autonomy under the 1978 Spanish Constitution. However, in 2010, the Constitutional Court of Spain annulled several provisions of the Constitution, sparking a movement in support of Catalan independence.

In early October 2017, the Catalan government, led by Carles Puigdemont, pushed for a referendum on the region's status despite the Spanish court ruling that the action was illegal. 2.3 million people participated in the vote out of Catalonia's 5.5 million electorates, and 90% of them supported secession.
