Going these gorging on the World Markets down as much as twenty one percent on friday the fourth day of a global sell off but many are still cool each of their faces in the cryptocurrency. And in spain the Festive Season is all about children singing songs that brings billions of euros el gordo or the fat one is here again the worlds biggest thing lottery has brought celebrations and cold hard cash to the streets of spain. Im sorry herman welcome the show its good to have you with us. Just a day after reaching all elections in catalonia its still difficult to judge who won Pro Independence parties took a slim majority but the party of x. Had one president carlos pushed him on is not the largest in this new parliament that honor went to the liberal Citizens Party which is anti independence Prime Minister marianna roys conservatives were nearly wiped out but he still refusing to talk of the separatist despite pleas from pushed mall pushed him all made his offer from brussels where he currently resides to avoid being arrested by the spanish for leading octobers independence referendum. Im ready to meet Prime Minister high in brussels or in a different place in the e. U. Except spain for his reasons arent ready to do that because its time for catalonia for the Spanish State and for europe to start a new political phase and this phase needs to be defined by a Political Solutions not by the but no no i didnt use depression weve been seeing so far as your i know. You know you dont spains Prime Minister money on iraq had different ideas and the person i should be meeting is the one who won the election and that is mrs oddie mother us. You know saudi mother us is the leader of the sea you go down as party which had the best families have you will result on thursday. But at the union those is the sun yes life in catalonia has certainly been affected by the Divisive Political situation with many locals hoping for some kind of breakthrough. You have an offender there you go there is no progress i believe we must take a step further and let the winners of spain and colonial put themselves in our place and understand they must solve the issue and leave the most extreme positions aside. Explain the steps because i think things have remained as they were and they should look now for a different solution to solve the problems. Of. The hoary has made it clear he would talk with the new leaders as long as they dont violate the countrys constitution despite separatist parties winning a slim majority forming a government is still a long way off. We can cross now to lisa lewis she is in barcelona following developments for us we also rejected a meeting with pushed him on a separatist later offering dialogue does this mean the standoff is just going to continue. It looks like yes there seems to be a deadlock really i mean if you look at whats the outcome of these elections yes the independent supporters have won the elections they could form a government with seventy seats in parliament but forming that government will be very complicated this coalition would be made up of three parties two large parties that can see him to be able to greet on the common leader i mean it is very complicated right colors put them on is an exile in invalids and he cant come back without going to jail and the other head of the other party of the year see party karas he is in jail in spain at the moment so its not really that easy to find someone new to replace them and then on the other hand youve got the smaller Coalition Party they say u. P. Party and they are saying you know we will join you but only if you really go for independence now that would be very complicated for all of them to go for independence right away because they have seen over the past few months and then madrid would intervene right away. There was a record turnout in this election eighty two percent how significant is that. That is quite significant in the sense that before hand the independents opinions worries always saying you know what yes the in and independence supporters are winning the elections but thats only because the other guys are not turning out to vote you cant you can hardly argue thats the case now with eighty two percent of participation so it seems like really a lot of the catalans are in favor of independence or at least opposed to the other parties that are not in favor of independence or so where do we go from here whats the situation going forward. Well obviously the different parties will now try to form a coalition the parliament will come together will stand normally until the end of january and then they have to elect a new leader of catalonia they have until they would elect that new leader in february and if they havent done so by april that would trigger trigger automatically new elections so we could see new snap elections in late may or early june and just briefly pushed him on how relevant is he still of his party didnt get a majority. Well he is very relevant because amongst the Pro Independence parties his party got the highest share of the vase so normally that party would also put forward the new leader but as i said itll be very complicated because hes an exile and there is no obvious number two people are really listening to what hes saying i mean from here obviously all right excellent lets listen louis she is reporting from barcelona thanks for bringing us up today. Major powers say they have agreed to hold peace talks on syria next month Turkey Russia and iran say the meeting will involve both rebels and the Syrian Government that has Rights Groups warn of a fresh humanitarian crisis in syria they say the government and Russian Forces have been pounding rebel forces near the capital damascus among the worst hit areas.

Lets bring in our financial correspondent in frankfurt in it to buy spark to get the reaction from there why isnt the Market Reaction more intense. But because we dont really know whats going to happen mr hoyer the Prime Minister of spain is saying now we talks need to start but to be fair those talks like three months ago havent given any outcome and thats why we have those elections in a way one cannot can argue that point at the same mistake as cameron the u. K. And other politicians in the euro zone when they were asking the people to solve their problems bottom line is that we have Political Risk back on the agenda but most likely nobody really wants to go into that risk now to stay a day before christmas and we know how messy its go with briggs but the u. K. Is a huge economy although it is an important economy for spain why do investors really care about it but actually catalonia makes up one fifth of the spanish economic power it was and is still the powerhouse somehow off spade and investors actually care because that whole fragmentation process of the the the risk of fragmentation could actually set a president for president for other regions the other regions in the euro zone which also want to be more independent perhaps also separate from the their home country and thats a stretch thats a tendency of course the European Union does not support because it would mean for the fragmentation investors are always wary about the political stability of the euro zone because many investors about full from the anglosaxon word dont really understand the political concept of that European Union and see it inherently unstable and thats why theres a big risk in such a movement.
