• Courts The TSJC investigates the former president of the Parliament and another deputy for disobeying the Constitutional Court

The cases opened against members of the Government for their management at the head of the Catalan institutions continue. Despite the fact that the former president of the Parliament, Roger Torrent, had an open investigation for allegedly disobeying the Constitutional Court by allowing the processing and debate of several resolutions when he was the head of the Catalan chamber, the president of the Generalitat Pere Aragonès appointed him minister of Company and Work. Now, continuing with the judicial process, the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) orders his summons as investigated for next September 15.

Along with him will go other members of the former Parliamentary Board, belonging to ERC and JxCat, for allowing the processing of a motion on resolutions in favor of exercising the right to self-determination and to reprove the monarchy despite the orders of the Constitutional Court that prohibited it. Among the four defendants is the new secretary of relations with the administration of Justice of the Generalitat Eusebi Campdepadrós of JxCat.

The Prosecutor's Office sued the former members of the Parliamentary Board, considering that they committed an alleged crime of disobedience to judicial decisions by ignoring the orders of the Constitutional Court and processing resolutions in favor of exercising the right to self-determination and reproving the monarchy, previous legislature. They did so despite warnings of its illegality by the Secretary General of the Parliament and knowing that the TC had prohibited it, according to the Public Ministry.

The complaint indicated that on October 10 and 16, 2019, the Constitutional Court personally notified Torrent and the members of the Board of respective measures in which he personally notified them "of their duty to prevent or paralyze any parliamentary initiative" that supposed "to ignore or evade" the suspension of the resolution approved on November 9, 2015 by the Parliament on the start of the independence process. Despite this, Torrent, the then first vice president of the Board Josep Costa and the then first secretary Eusebi Campdepadrós processed a resolution presented on October 22, 2019 by the JxCat, ERC and CUP groups in which the Parliament reiterated "as many times as the deputies want it ...the defense of the right to self-determination and the claim of the sovereignty of the people of Catalonia to decide their political future ".

That same resolution also included in another section a point in which it was stated that the Parliament "reiterates and will reiterate as many times as the deputies want the disapproval of the monarchy."

The prosecution's complaint includes Adriana Delgado, who was fourth secretary, for processing another CUP resolution, also in October 2019, for which the Parliament expressed its will to "concretely exercise the right to self-determination and to respect the will of the Catalan people ".

The TSJC also imposes a bail of 10,000 euros on Vox if it wants to appear as a popular accusation in this procedure.
