Spain’s current foreign minister Josep Borrell who has previously walked out on an interview because of uncomfortable questions on the human rights violations of the Spanish justice system following the Catalonia’s independence referendum. He can't be foreign agent for 'EU. ?????
What is truly “insidious” is that the Spanish Government has engaged in a classis “dirty tricks” campaign. The Government set up a calculated deception and a fabricated complaint. But they have been caught red handed and will now be exposed to the entire international community.
Last night, I made a formal request to the WGAD to refer the Spanish Government to the Human Rights Council for a motion of censure. Spain has lodged a fake complaint in order to obstruct and discredit a key institution of the UN system of human rights protection.
Spain’s extraordinarily dishonest actions are unprecedented for a member of the EU. It has knowingly told defamatory lies in an attempt to discredit the WGAD, its Secretariat and counsel representing the victims of its human rights violations. This will have consequences.
As former PM of France you'd expect @manuelvalls to have some manners but no. He has adapted Spanish unionists' playbook of rude behavior, confrontational attitude and ultra-nationalist views https://t.co/5jm0ZT73SE
Bending the law until it breaks. In a clearly illegal move, the Spanish Supreme Court blocks elected member of the EP @junqueras from joining the European Parliament. If this is allowed, where is the limit of democratic backsliding, in Spain and beyond? https://t.co/7W0MhoNqPF
Puigdemont can’t register as an MEP without coming to Madrid first. Meanwhile Junqueras is already in Madrid, but is not allowed to register as an MEP. Something stinks.

🎥 @jorditurull: "Allà on alguns han dit que hi havia mirades d'odi, jo puc parlar de milers i milers d'ulls brillants de l'emoció de poder participar en el referèndum de l'#1Oct. No hi va haver muralles humanes, sinó muntanyes de dignitat democràtica"
La consciència tranquil·la i el cap ben alt com el primer dia. En democràcia defensar el lliure debat parlamentari no és delicte, és un deure. Agraïment etern a tothom que ens ha acompanyat aquests 4 mesos de judici. Malgrat tot, continuem injustament a presó. No ho oblidem.
"I’ve always been a convinced anti-fascist," says EP president Tajani, while claiming that Mussolini did good things and inviting far-right xenophobic Spanish party Vox to spread hate in the @Europarl_EN. #EU#Catalonia#EP2019 https://t.co/OeCYHbx3xq
