The head of the Catalan government Maragall said, ""We are all "Madrileños" today"", and continued: ""if terrorists intended to divide us, they will have achieved the exact opposite, and the best way to reject terror is to vote on Sunday"". Josep-Lluís Carod-Rovira of the Catalan nationalist party, the ERC, who had recently come under fire for secretly meeting with ETA and advocating dialogue, said he would not communicate with ETA again but someone else should do so to prevent them from committing any more bloodshed. ""We thought we had already seen everything, but unfortunately that was not the case"", he lamented.
