The Minister of Justice, Juan Carlos Campo, has warned that the suspension of the elections is not contemplated in the general electoral law, when asked about the possible postponement of the elections in Catalonia, and has requested "great caution in the face of a lack of legal forecast ".

"Suspending democracy can bring things that are not good for democracy," the minister warned in an interview this Thursday on Ràdio 4 and La 2 collected by Europa Press, and was quoted by the Venice Commission, which talks about democracy, the State of Law and fundamental rights.

He has assured that "if there is no other remedy, it could be done, but it is a very very delicate thing", he believes that the response has to be proportionate and that there is a need for governments to be operational and with 100% of the capacities, and has pointed out that the law always has challenge capabilities.

He said that it would be a sign of normality if they were to be held and that "all circumstances do not prevent the celebration of democracy", and added that it would be good news if the President of the Generalitat could verify that they were on February 14.

Asked if the independence prisoners could stand for elections if they are pardoned and the elections are delayed, Campo replied: "I honestly don't think they can be postponed that long. It is possible, but I see it as quite difficult.
