Spain electoral commission orders the pro-independence president of Catalonia's government to be stripped of his regional lawmaker role
In this file photo taken on December 19, 2019 Catalan regional president Quim Torra gives a press conference in Barcelona after a court in Spain ruled that he was unfit to hold public office for 18 months because he failed to remove separatist symbols from public buildings during an election campaign.
They will also likely further inflame Catalan separatists already angered by the Spanish government’s point-blank refusal to discuss the wealthy region’s possible independence.Torra had been found guilty for refusing to remove secessionist symbols from public buildings in the northeastern region during an election campaign, a move that violated election law on campaigning. That court decision is open to appeal.
It said that since Junqueras had been convicted of sedition in October, he was no longer eligible to be a European Parliament member and that the next candidate in line on his party’s list would take his place.
