and the Vice President,
Jordi Puigneró
, will meet this Saturday in Alghero (Sardinia, Italy) with
Carles Puigdemont
to show their support, after being arrested on Thursday on the island by an order of the Spanish Supreme Court , and released on Friday by the Italian Justice.
Puigdemont had traveled to Sardinia to participate in an international meeting organized by the Adifolk association, together with other personalities such as the Minister of Foreign Action of the Generalitat, Victoria Alsina.
10.53 Puigdemont's lawyer shows his chest: "This procedure is dead, the death certificate needs to be issued
It was clear that the independence movement was going to use the arrest and subsequent release of former president Carles Puigdemont in Italy as a victory against the state. Lacking the epic from which Catalan sovereignty is nourished, that a court considers that the MEP can have freedom of movement through the European Union and does not retain it until a decision is made on the Euro order of delivery to Spain requested by the Supreme Court. considers it as an example that "Spain does not lose the opportunity to make a fool of itself", as the former president himself said when he was released from prison.
Much clearer about the judicial process initiated in Italy to assess his extradition was his lawyer Gonzalo Boye who stated this Saturday that "this procedure is dead, the death certificate must be issued."
In statements in Catalunya Ràdio he recalled that the immunity of the former Catalan president to move around the European Union has been recognized and that only issues related to "a euro order that is suspended" can be assessed, pending the final decision of the Court of Luxembourg.

10.36 Felipe González: "Nobody is more capable of making a fool of himself than Puigdemont"
Former Prime Minister Felipe González said today that he does not believe that there is anyone in Spain "more capable of making a fool of himself" than former Catalan President
Carles Puigdemont.
In a debate held this afternoon on
Politics and Journalism
at the San Felipe Neri Oratory, in March of the 211th anniversary of the constitution of the Cortes of Cádiz, the former socialist president has thus responded to the statements made by Carles Puigdemont upon his departure from the Sassari prison, in Sardinia (Italy), in which he has made fun of his arrest, saying that "Spain never misses opportunities to make a fool of itself."

The PSOE limits the situation of Puigdemont to the judicial sphere and detaches it from the negotiation of Budgets
The PSOE spokesman in Congress, Héctor Gómez, has stressed that the arrest of former Catalan president
Carles Puigdemont
in Sardinia (Italy) this Friday affects only the judicial sphere and has disconnected it from the negotiation of the General Budgets for 2022.
In an interview with RNE's 'Parliament' program, collected by Europa Press, Gómez has responded like this when asked if the arrest of Puigdemont will complicate
the negotiation with ERC
of public accounts.
"The arrest of Puigdemont affects exclusively the judicial sphere," said the socialist leader, who has detached this arrest from the Budgets.
"We disconnect one reality from the other," Gómez insisted, who has been "optimistic" with the progress of the negotiations.

9.10 'Puigdemont case': judicial swarm
The new arrest - casual or provoked? - of
Carles Puigdemont
in Sardinia (Italy) adds bankruptcies and questions both to the European Detention and Surrender Order processed before a Belgian court (Spanish-Belgian judicial "bilateral matter"), as well as to the Effects of the lifting of parliamentary immunity.
The judicial swarm originates because the order of July 30 before the General Court of the EU (TG) - a lower court than the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) -, although it provisionally confirms the withdrawal of immunity as a MEP to Puigdemont , reserves the option to review the situation if there is a new arrest in a Member State other than Belgium or France - where he must carry out his work as MEP, in Brussels and Strasbourg -, the TG mixing the preliminary ruling litigation in interpretation with the challenge of the withdrawal of immunity.

9.05 The Italian 'Codice Penale': several crimes in which the 1-O can fit
The main barriers to surrendering Carles Puigdemont to the Spanish Justice are the immunity of the
European Parliament
and the thesis that the Euro-orders are suspended until
the EU Court
rules on the setback of
Belgium
.
There are more, although with a more favorable prognosis.
If finally the Italian Justice concludes that none of the foregoing prevents processing the European arrest and surrender warrant, it would go on to check if the requirements for this are met.
Despite being a system based on trust between member countries, when Belgium and
Germany
did so, their conclusion was no, at least partially.
The key to the decision would lie in interpreting that the acts for which the former
president
is being persecuted
would also be criminal in
Italy
, and that, in addition, they would carry a penalty of more than three years in prison.
Below that figure there is no surrender, nor if the first requirement of double criminality is not met.

9.00 Unease and confusion in Europe: the EU's doubts about Puigdemont's Euroorder
The arrest in
Italy
of Carles Puigdemont has taken by surprise in
Brussels
and especially in
Luxembourg
, seat of the
Court of Justice of the EU

The European institutions will defend their courts and, if there is a clash, the image of Spain and the Supreme Court would be even more deteriorated. An information by Pablo R. Suanzes.

8.30 The Supreme Court hopes with pessimism that another EU country can deny the delivery of Puigdemont
The game is still at halftime and the second half remains to be played, but even so, in the Supreme Court they now see it very difficult to achieve a victory and for the
Court of Appeal of Sassari (Sardinia) to
agree to hand over to Spain the former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont.
If after hearing of his arrest in the
Second Chamber
of the High Court, skepticism was installed, now it has turned into pessimism as it is perceived as a more than real possibility that the judge of Sardinia will again deny the delivery of the former Catalan president to
Spain
.
"It was foreseeable," they maintain in reference to the release of Puigdemont this Friday without precautionary measures on the Italian island.
“They have been moving freely in
Europe
for four years
, a circumstance that does not help, legal sources indicate.

8.00 Puigdemont uses an error of the Government in Europe to ask for his freedom
The defense of Carles Puigdemont used yesterday in
Italy
the theses of the Spanish Government before the
General Court of the EU
to support his release and the refusal to execute the euro order.
Specifically, the affirmation of the
State Bar
that the Euroorder against Carles Puigdemont had been suspended and no country could execute it.
This was stated by the representation of the Executive when it had to pronounce on Puigdemont's request that he be granted provisionally the immunity that the
European Parliament
had just taken away from him.
At least while his appeal against that decision was being resolved.
