📆 Thu 5 March
🕘 09:45 & 16:00
📍 27 Chambers St
Toutes nos félicitations à @ClaraPonsati La démocratie doit gagner dans l’Europe du 21 ème siècle! Cela ne peut pas être autrement! Le comportement du gouvernement espagnol est une anomalie que nous devons combattre, ce n’est pas l’exemple que nous voulons donner de notre Europe!
Scotland leaves Europe against its will, but former Catalan minister @ClaraPonsati still fighting extradition from Scotland becomes an MEP🎗 - la repressió no ens farà enrere! Ara, acabem el que vam començar. Lluitarem fins al final, i guanyarem 🎗🏴🇪🇺
Entrevista a l'advocat de @ClaraPonsati “A Espanya hi ha una colla d’hipòcrites que diuen que cal obeir la llei però ells no ho fan. No poden passar per damunt del Parlament Europeu i dir que no, que la immunitat de Junqueras s’ha de suspendre." 🎗https://t.co/Tw29a9B7lm
Is this a joke 👇🏽 🎗 maybe if Borrell could help ‘coordinate’ over Spain’s political prisoners, failure to observe the rule of law, police violence and the persecution of the Catalan people first, before he offers his wisdom to Iran?
The Spanish Electoral Commission just banned from office President @QuimTorraiPla.
Another democratically elected President of Catalonia sacked by Spain not through ballotboxes but thanks to the deep state.
This will not be over until Catalonia becomes a free country
Acaben d'inhabilitar el president @QuimTorraiPla. Indignant, vergonyós. Els dos darrers presidents de Catalunya han estat cessats per Espanya, no pel Parlament. S'han acostumat a decidir qui ha de ser president i qui no. Prou. És com el 155, però sense passar pel Senat.
Spain’s Attorney General office has issued its recommendation to Supreme Court that political prisoner @junqueras should be allowed out of prison in order to collect his credentials as an MEP🎗https://t.co/QVFzlAOPBT
Spain's Supreme Court sentenced Catalan MEP Oriol Junqueras to 13 years of prison for his role in organizing a referendum.
But the trial itself was illegal; Spain violated Junqueras' parliamentary immunity.
Why is Junqueras still in jail, @vonderleyen?

However, @ClaraPonsati lawyer Aamer Anwar said the issue for Spain was “whether it practises the rule of law or wants to act as a petulant rogue state within the heart of Europe” 🎗 by @MediaNetScot https://t.co/6dq8BKx6Ce
A criminal connected to the Spanish Royal family will be allowed out to see his family for Christmas, but not the Catalan Political prisoners🎗Demanem l'alliberament immediat de les persones empresonades i el lliure retorn de les exiliades 🎗 https://t.co/LW7wIlK2aR
Our Catalan friends should now be allowed to take up their seats in the @Europarl_EN. I asked the floor and @EP_President made a clear statement: Spain must respect this judgment. Welcome @KRLS and colleagues
The ECJ found that a person elected acquires the status of member of the @Europarl_EN and therefore enjoys immunity. I call upon the competent Spanish authorities to align with the ruling. I have given a mandate to the services to evaluate its possible impact on the composition.
