Direct War Ukraine - Russia, live breaking news
Parlament A Junts deputy compares Russia's military attack on Ukraine with 1-O
"You cannot tell the Ukrainians that they are the champions of European values and, when
Spain
tramples us, look the other way."
This is how the deputy delegate of the Generalitat of Catalonia
before the European Union,
Erika Casajoana
, expressed herself yesterday
in the Parliament of Flanders (Belgium) establishing a new parallelism between the military conflict initiated by
Russia
a month ago with the
procés
.
In her appearance before a committee of the Flemish Legislative Chamber, the representative of the Government in
Brussels
asked that "the defense of European values in Catalonia be done with the same energy and conviction as in
Belarus
,
Ukraine
and
Moscow
".
Casajoana went further and compared the
Kremlin
's repression of Russian dissidence with the one that, in his opinion, exists in Spain with the independence movement: "If you wear a white poster in Moscow, they arrest you, and, if in Catalonia you wore a T-shirt yellow, you couldn't enter a football stadium".
The delegate of the Generalitat in the EU, Gorka Knörr
, also participated in the commission
.
The former Vice President of the Basque Parliament between 2001 and 2005 denounced "the suppression of democratic freedoms" by the Spanish Justice and other state bodies, such as the
Central Electoral Board
.
The head of the Government office in Brussels explicitly referred to the imprisonment of
Carme Forcadell
"for allowing the debate and approval of the referendum law", as well as the decision of
the Supreme Court
to withdraw the deputy seat from the former president of the Govern
Quim Torra
and, more recently, the already former member of the Bureau of Parliament
Pau Juvillà
(
CUP
).
Knörr also cited the cases of
Carles Puigdemont
,
Toni Comín
and
Clara Ponsatí
: "They have become MEPs and have immunity in all [EU] Member States except Spain, where they would be immediately arrested if they returned."
Against Citizens
In his speech, Casajoana also attacked
Ciudadanos
, a party he described as "very right-wing" in matters affecting Catalonia.
"They want to ban Catalan in schools and they were born to fight the Catalans," he said.
The Cs MEP
Jordi Cañas will
denounce before the
European Commission
"the intolerable comparison between the Government of
Putin
, a war criminal, and Spain".
In addition, he will ask for measures to "prevent officials with positions of representation before the European Union from attacking it and campaigning against the EU itself and its member states."
For his part, the spokesman for this party in Parliament,
Nacho Martín Blanco
, addressed this morning the Generalitat's Minister for Foreign Action,
Victòria Alsina
, to ask her for an explanation for Casajoana's speech, which he described as "immoral and aberrant."
