• Courts: The court endorses the third degree of sovereign leaders but keeps them in prison while waiting for the Supreme Court

The decision of the Court of Penitentiary Surveillance number 5 of Catalonia to reject the appeal of the Prosecutor's Office against the decision of the Generalitat to grant the third prison degree to the seven internal sovereign leaders in the Lledoners prison but suspend their execution pending the The decision of the Supreme Court, which has the resources on the table as the body that issued the sentence, has not sat well with some of those convicted. Mainly the leader of ERC, Oriol Junqueras, who did not hesitate to compare himself with other criminals to regret the judicial decision and incidentally charge against the State, in a new example of confusion of what the division of powers should be in a democracy.

"They agree with us, but they keep us locked up. Corrupt monarchs, mafia monarchs, rapists or murderers have more rights than we do. Because it is not justice, it is revenge," said Junqueras on social networks and had the complicity of the vice president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès when he applauded that the judicial proceedings charged against the Prosecutor's Office.

In this sense, the prison surveillance judge regretted that the Public Ministry sought an "exemplary punishment" for the inmates sentenced for sedition with its opposition to all their exits and prison benefits and remarked that these arguments that the inmates remain locked up are "more typical of a nineteenth-century and historical system of the State prior to the twentieth century and much prior to our Constitution. "

Also under this premise the former councilors Josep Rull and Jordi Turull and the former leader of the ANC Jordi Sànchez have filed an appeal against the court's decision in which they assure that it "does not make sense" to maintain the precautionary measure of suspension of the third degree before a decision of the Supreme that has not yet taken place. Another prison surveillance court, which deals with inmates Carme Forcadell and Dolors Bassa, maintains their third-degree exits from prison every day despite processing the appeal.

Specifically, Sànchez, Turull and Rull, defended by the lawyer Jordi Pina, ask to go out to comply with the third degree since the precautionary suspension wielded by the judge "lacks legal coverage", among other reasons because the Prosecutor's Office has not appealed for now its resolution before the Supreme. They consider that when the Prosecutor's Office appeals to the Supreme Court the endorsement of the judge to the third degree, if this finally happens, there would be a basis for applying the fifth additional provision of the Organic Law of the Judicial Power (LOPJ) to provisionally suspend his semi-freedom. "It makes no sense to deny the enforceability of a resolution such as the confirmation of progression to third degree at the expense of a future, which we do not know if it will happen or not," the writings indicate.

In addition, they detail that the judge agreed to the precautionary suspension of his third degree without legal basis because the LOPJ provides for it only in cases in which the Prosecutor's Office appeals the judicial endorsement of the progression of the prisoners, but not when it challenges an administrative resolution , as happened in this case.
