The former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont has described Torra's disqualification order as "outrageous and shameful:" It's like 155 but without going through the Senate, "he said.

"The last two presidents of Catalonia have been dismissed by Spain, not by the Parliament . They have become accustomed to deciding who has to be the president and who does not. Enough. It's like 155, but without going through the Senate," he denounced Puigdemont on Twitter.
