However, Plaja reiterated that “Catalonia is fully prepared to host the Olympics.” “The Games have not just been unraveled, perhaps because one of the parties is Catalonia,” the spokeswoman asserted. It was no less forceful with Aragon: “We no longer know what they think, because they change every little bit.”
