Catalan Minister Clara Ponsatí, exiled in Brussels, has posted to Twitter an enigmatic quote from the UK's wartime prime minister, Winston Churchill.
"When you feel you cannot continue in your position for another minute, and all that is in human power has been done, that is the moment when the enemy is most exhausted, and when one step forward will give you the fruits of the struggle you have borne."

Ponsatí's tweet came after the emergence of leaked messages from president Carles Puigdemont to minister Toni Comín.
