Although the will of the
Government
is to seek the independence agreed with the
Government
, despite always leaving the door open to the unilateral path as ERC agreed this weekend in its 'road map', the judicial effects of
the referendum of the 1-O
still plan on the Catalan Executive.
A shadow that could generate changes if some of its members are sentenced to disqualification if they are considered responsible for a crime of disobedience.
Last week it became known that the Minister of Business Roger Torrent will sit on the bench in the
Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia
(TSJC) to determine if he disobeyed when he was president of the Parliament and processed resolutions in favor of self-determination and against the monarchy despite to the warning of the Constitutional Court.
He is not the only minister who will end up prosecuted.
This Monday, the Minister of Culture, Natàlia Garriga (ERC), also goes to the TSJC to be notified that a trial for disobedience is pending, since she was arrested on September 20, 2017, in the operation ordered by the Court of Instruction number 13 of Barcelona against the preparations for the independence referendum.
At that time, Garriga was director of services for the Department of the Vice Presidency and Economy, led by Oriol Junqueras, which was registered by the Civil Guard and provoked a massive pro-independence protest at the door.
The Prosecutor's Office considers that Garriga could have committed a crime of serious disobedience by taking steps to obtain a place to store electoral material and set up a voting data collection center despite the suspension by the Constitutional Court.
In this sense, the Public Ministry believes that the minister allegedly did not heed the court orders for collaborating in the organization of 1-O from her position as director of services of the general secretary of the Vice President.
However, she is not charged with a crime of embezzlement, which carries prison sentences.
In 2020, the Barcelona Investigating Court 13 prosecuted some thirty charges, former managers and technicians of the Generalitat as well as businessmen for collaborating in the organization and financing of 1-O with public money.
One of them was Garriga, to whom the disobedience was attributed.
Despite this, last year she was appointed Minister of Culture, so when her case was appraised, it was processed in the TSJC and she joined the open process against the ERC deputies and former senior Economy officials Josep Maria Jové, who was superior of Garriga, and Lluís Salvadó for the preparations for the independence votes.
As is customary in judicial appointments of pro-independence politicians, colleagues from the Government will go with Garriga to the door of the court, such as ministers Laurà Vilagrà, Teresa Jordà, Josep González-Cambray and Roger Torrent, in addition to ERC positions such as deputy secretary general, Raül Romeva;
the Deputy Secretary General Marta Vilalta, and Republican deputies such as Pau Morales, Irene Aragonès, Jaume Butinyà, Juli Fernàndez, José Rodríguez and Lluïsa Llop, among others.
Representatives of other parties such as JxCat and the CUP and sovereign entities such as the ANC and Òmnium will also attend.
