entrenches herself in the Presidency of the Parliament after being prosecuted for corruption and after the ERC has explicitly asked her to resign to "preserve the dignity" of the Catalan Chamber.

Borràs alleges that said article -which the ERC seizes to demand his departure- "violates the presumption of innocence" and defends that there are other deputies who maintain the minutes despite being awaiting trial.

Obvious, however, the President of the Parliament that none of these parliamentarians is being prosecuted for corruption and that the regulations of the Chamber impose the immediate cessation after the opening of trial whenever the crime allegedly committed has to do with corruption, as it happens in her case, since she has been prosecuted for prevarication, fraud, continued embezzlement and false documentation.

Borràs has also not resisted the temptation to wrap himself in the flag and has maintained that his case "would never have gone so far if it were not for who he is and for representing the political project he represents."
