The rectors of the Catalan public universities want to express our deep discomfort regarding the imprisonment of several politicians and political leaders. We believe there are other ways to face the political situation Catalonia is living at the moment and we think prison is not the way to tackle it.

We believe dialogue and negotiation should be on the table to solve the political problems which are affecting us at the moment. According to this believe, we have repeatedly defended dialogue as the only way to tackle this problems and strengthen the regular functioning of the self-government institutions in Catalonia.

The situation our country is living at the moment makes us act with the highest responsibility to ask for a democratic solution with dialogue regarding the conflict.
