Not satisfied with the fact that the Government has promoted an express reform of the Penal Code to eliminate or reduce the crimes for which they were convicted after organizing the 1-O, many of the prisoners of the procés refuse to demand the revision of their sentences and try to that it be the Supreme Court that annuls them ex officio.

The leaders of Junts

Jordi Turull

,

Josep Rull

and

Joaquim Forn

will avoid appealing to the High Court, hoping that the Supreme Court itself can take the initiative to adapt its sentence to the elimination of the crime of sedition and the reduction of the embezzlement promoted by the Government of

Pedro Sánchez

with the aim of satisfying ERC and ensuring the legislature.

It is the obsession of the neo-convergents to differentiate themselves from the Republicans and to belittle the concessions obtained by negotiating with the Executive that moves Turull, Rull and Forn;

in addition to his perennial intention to kneel the State before secessionism.

Yesterday -before learning about the decision of its former partners in the Government- ERC had already described as "inconsistent" that Junts took advantage of the reform of the Penal Code after having voted against its approval.

"Sedition goes out the door, but the crime of aggravated public disorder comes through the window and that is absolutely unacceptable," said Míriam Nogueras

, spokesperson for the heirs of Convergència and exponent of the party faction

closest to

Carles Puigdemont

, who continues to stress that the collaboration between the ERC and the PSOE is not the correct way to achieve secession.

Nor will Jordi Sànchez and Jordi Cuixart demand that their sentences be reviewed by the Supreme Court.

The former secretary general of Junts alleged yesterday that he does not want to "carry out any action that could weaken" the claim that he filed before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) when interpreted as an acceptance of damage reparation.

"The damage done by the sentence cannot now be repaired by a sentence review," he added.

In tune, Cuixart clarified through Òmnium Cultural that he is also committed to prioritizing the European path and "defending human rights and amnesty for all those retaliated in the Strasbourg Court."

The convicted ERC leaders, with

Oriol Junqueras

at the helm, are willing to appeal their sentences to the Supreme Court.

The president of the Republicans longs for the annulment of the disqualification sentence that did not abolish the pardon granted by the Government in order to return to the political front line.

And the same strategy of his will be followed by the former president of Parliament,

Carme Forcadell

, and the former councilors

Raül Romeva

and

Dolors Bassa

.

"We will ask for it, because we demand the review of the sentence in the sense that it is clear that no crime has occurred and that, therefore, criminal responsibility and penalties are extinguished," ERC sources point out.

If the TS opens an ex officio review procedure of the sentence before - which could happen between Thursday and Friday -, the lawyers of the ERC convicts will present the petition "in the framework of the corresponding procedure," they specify.

The reform of the Criminal Code enters into force today and, first of all, the Supreme Court will summon prosecutions and defenses to report on how the transformation of sedition into a crime of aggravated public disorder and the reductions in some penalties affects the sentences handed down. of embezzlement.

For his part, magistrate Pablo Llarena, instructor of the case, will have to adapt the indictment of the fugitives -Puigdemont,

Toni Comín

Clara Ponsatí

Rovira- to the new Penal Code and, consequently, issue new arrest warrants against them, except in the case of Rovira, against whom there are no arrest warrants, judicial sources told Efe.
