Curtea Supremă din Spania refuză cauțiunea pentru foștii membri ai cabinetului #Catalonia
Former Catalonian vice president Oriol Junqueras (foto), former cabinet member Joaquim Forn and two leaders of civic groups ANC and Omnium Cultural, faced with charges of sedition, have been refused bail, Spain’s Supreme Court said on Monday (4 December).
Six other former members of the Catalonia cabinet, detained in custody ahead of an investigation into their part in an illegal unilateral declaration of independence by the then-regional government on 27 October, were set bail of 100,000 euros (£88,289).The Catalonian leaders’ organization of an independence vote on 1 October and subsequent declaration of independence, both acts banned under Spain’s constitution, have tipped the country into its worst political crisis in more than four decades.
The central government sacked the previous government within hours of the declaration and called a regional election for 21 December.
The eight former members of the cabinet were detained in custody on 2 November facing potential charges of sedition, rebellion and misappropriation of funds. The have since called to be released to campaign for the election.
The former leader of the Catalonia government, Carles Puigdemont, and four of his disbanded cabinet, are in self-imposed exile in Belgium under conditional release after an international arrest warrant was served against them.
On Monday, Spain’s Supreme Court refused bail for Junqueras, Forn and leaders of Catalan civic groups Asamblea Nacional Catalana (ANC) and Omnium Cultural, Jordi Sanchez and Jordi Cuixart.
Campaigning for the election, with Junqueras at the head of the list for his party ERC, begins on Tuesay and polls have shown that support for independence is running in a dead heat with support for continued unity with Spain.
