"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5980811\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, Catalonia's exiled president, Carles Puigdemont, has been forced to delay his visit to Quebec yet again. It was supposed to happen in April, then in June, and now it has been postponed to the fall because Canada once again did not allow him into the country in time. Mr. Puigdemont deserves to be treated with all the diplomatic consideration that a democratic nation extends to heads of state.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5980812\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois is calling on the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> to ensure that Canada will not interfere with Mr. Puigdemont's right to visit Quebec. In the name of democratic values, the Prime Minister must condemn the authoritarian excesses of the Spanish government, which sabotaged a referendum and is subjecting Catalonian leaders to political trials, prison sentences and exile. Such actions are totally inappropriate on the part of any country that calls itself democratic.</p>",

Au nom des valeurs d\u00e9mocratiques, le premier ministre doit condamner les d\u00e9rives autoritaires du gouvernement espagnol, qui a sabot\u00e9 une consultation populaire et contraint les dirigeants catalans \u00e0 des proc\u00e8s politiques, \u00e0 des peines d\u2019emprisonnement ou \u00e0 l\u2019exil, ce qui est totalement indigne d\u2019un pays dit d\u00e9mocratique.</p>"
