Follow the challenge. The president of the Generalitat, Quim Torra, said that "I will continue to be a deputy and president of Catalonia to fulfill the functions entrusted to me" despite the decision of the Central Electoral Board to disable him as a deputy after estimating several resources, taking into account the Condemnation of the TSJC for disobedience.

After an urgent Consell Executiu, Torra announced that he has asked the president of the Parliament to call an extraordinary plenary session for this Saturday to approve a resolution contrary to this "violation" of his rights since "he can only disable me the full" .

Torra said that the decision of the Board, which he described as an "administrative body not a court", is "a coup d'etat to the Catalan institutions" and that it is the second time that "from an Madrid office they want to remove a president of the Generalitat elected by the people by irregular routes, absolutely undemocratic. " That is why he added that "I will strengthen the institutions" since "I owe it to the people of Catalonia."

In addition, he said that the resolution that disables Oriol Junqueras as a MEP is "another very serious attack on democracy" since the former vice president "should be free, like the rest of" sovereignist prisoners.
