She is a tribune in Le Journal Du Diimanche . It is signed by 52 French deputies . They do not want to interfere in the "debate" on "the statute of Catalonia and the future of Spain," they say. But, they support the arguments of the independentistas who await sentencing by the 1-O trial.

"Because of their political options, for having wanted to organize a vote, elected [charges] are imprisoned, exiled and risk being sentenced to heavy prison sentences. Respect for institutional rules is one thing, but we consider the political debate should not be settled by repression, by attacks on personal rights, by a form of crime of opinion. "

The signatories, among which are the leaders of Insumisa France (far left) and of the communist group, express their "concern and disapproval" for "the attack on fundamental freedoms and democracy." For all these reasons, they call "the appeasement of tensions and the end of arbitrary measures that affect those elected by universal suffrage."

On the eve of the 1-O ruling, they align with the theses of the courts. It is significant although it will not move a millimeter to the executive branch headed by Emmanuel Macron. The French president and his Government have always backed Spain against the process. Last time in March, when 41 senators denounced "the repression" of Catalan nationalism and urged France and the EU to "mediation."

Among the 52 signatories of the rostrum in the JDD newspaper there are 17 "insumisos" with their leader, Jean Luc Mélénchon , at the head; 15 communists, including their boss André Chassaigne ; and 13 deputies from the group that brings together centrists and expensive nationalists. The rest are a socialist dissident and centrists.
