• Courts Indignation and perplexity in the Supreme Court for the "reinterpretation" of the Congress of the conviction of Alberto Rodríguez

  • The report of the case Congress lawyers assure that Alberto Rodríguez can continue as a deputy

The president of the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court, Manuel Marchena, has addressed this Wednesday to the president of the Congress of Deputies, Meritxell Batet, to send him the report on the date of commencement of the disqualification penalty special for the right of passive suffrage imposed on the United Podemos deputy Alberto Rodríguez, in order to carry out the liquidation of his sentence.

On October 7, the High Court condemned the former secretary of the Podemos organization for a crime of attacking agents of the authority to a month and a half in prison, which he replaced with a fine of 540 euros.

The sentence included the accessory penalty of special disqualification for the right to passive suffrage and, consequently, the loss of the seat due to unforeseen illegibility.

However, the PSOE and United We can teamed up yesterday at the Congressional Table to allow Rodríguez to keep his act as a deputy based on the report drawn up by the Chamber's lawyers.

This decision generated indignation and perplexity in the Supreme Court when the Chamber considered that its sentence was being "reinterpreted" and not complying with it.

Now, Marchena moves token and delivers an official letter to the Lower House to be able to execute the sentence of disqualification of the convicted person.

Legal sources emphasize to EL MUNDO that the Supreme Court needs to execute its sentence - which is firm - and that it means the loss of Rodríguez's seat.

The official letter has been sent to the Congress of Deputies through the presidency of the Supreme Court.
