Journalist1: You say in your declaration that violence can never be a political instrument, which is a nice moral wish. I ask, the European Commission (EC) is condemning here or not, the tacticts and methods udes by the guardia civil* in Catalonia to stope the voting of the citizens? Is this what you mean with "violence can never be a political instrument"?
EC: I will read with interest your article to know how yourself interpret this.

Journalist2: Basically it's the same question as Journalist1, I'm sorry. It is not clear if you are condemning the violence or not from yesterday (1st October). And if your are not, how many injured do you need to condemn it?
EC: We made an declaration in English, and I belive everyone understund it. I will also read with interest your analysis.
(In my opinion the representative of the EC, Margaritis Schinas, what trying to answer to the journalists in a very polite way to go f*ck themselves)
