		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Flemish Prime Minister Jan Jambon has summoned the Spanish ambassador to Belgium, Beatriz Larrotcha, to talk about the conflict in Catalonia and the referendum trial verdict,&nbsp; according to newspaper <a href="https://www.knack.be/nieuws/belgie/jambon-nodigt-spaanse-ambassadeur-uit-we-zullen-onverbloemd-onze-mening-zeggen/article-news-1528697.html?cookie_check=1573027655">Knack</a>. The Flemish Parliament passed an unanimous resolution on 16 October condemning the &ldquo;disproportionate punishment of Catalan politicians and activists by the Spanish Supreme Court&rdquo; and asked the government to &ldquo;summon the Spanish ambassador to give the necessary explanations and to address the concerns about developments in the Catalan case&rdquo;.</p>

Jambon said that on Monday he met Larrotcha at a meeting with the 27 European ambassadors in Belgium and she seemed open to hold a meeting.</p>
<p>The Flemish PM will transmit to the Spanish government the need to use dialogue and politics to resolve the conflict: &ldquo;As Flemish Government, we continue to think that the conflict can not be solved only&nbsp; with lawyers and courts. They can only help with political solutions. I&rsquo;m continuing to ask the governments of Catalonia and Spain to negotiate&rdquo;.</p>
<p>The Flemish PM praised the nonviolent nature of Catalan independentism and recalled that the pro-independence parties are asking peacefully to be able to express their opinion at the polls.</p>
