The leader of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, has today appealed to the prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, to "clear up the doubts" that he has generated with regard to the promise he made to ensure that that the topic of constitutional reform would be broached within six months and demanded that he "keep his word".
"Mr Rajoy, I am addressing you personally," he said, "as you promised me personally that you would open the way to constitutional reform within six months".
"I ask you now to clear up any doubts and to keep your word," he continued. "You don't owe it to me; you owe it to the people of Spain."
During a working breakfast organised by Europa Press, the PSOE leader also introduced the chief secretary of the PSC and candidate for the leadership of the Generalitat, Miquel Iceta, who he explained wanted to take over as president of Catalonia in order to "overcome the division between the Catalan people".
