The president of the European Commission (EC), Jean-Claude Juncker, has said that although the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, is a "hard negotiator", that does not mean that the talks are going to fail. Meanwhile, Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he is disappointed after UK and EU negotiators have failed to reach an agreement on the nature of Ireland's border with Northern Ireland after Britain leaves the EU . Today the British leader meets with the Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, in a meeting that will discuss issues such as Catalonia and Gibraltar, as well as Brexit.

Meanwhile, here in Spain starts the election campaign for the Catalan elections on December 21. All media points to the leadership of Inés Arrimadas, Citizen candidate, after the publication of the latest data from the CIS. In any case, there is a complicated electoral result that will make it even more complicated to form a Government in Catalonia. Political uncertainty remains very present.
