ERC continues trying to justify the so far unsuccessful reform of the Penal Code that it imposed on the Government.

The pro-independence formation considers that the judicial system is "twisting" the law to avoid the political rehabilitation of its leader,

Oriol Junqueras

.

"It is a coup d'état by the Spanish high judiciary," the formation proclaimed yesterday upon learning that the 1-O prosecutors asked the Supreme Court not to review the sentence of Oriol Junqueras so that he could continue to be disqualified until 2031 for aggravated embezzlement.

«There is an open war between the powers of the State.

That shows that we are hitting the right keys”, defended

Marta Vilaret

, who holds a new position in ERC: that of Deputy Secretary General for Rights, Liberties and Anti-Repression.

Those from Junqueras are sweating to maintain their story after this reaction from the Prosecutor's Office and the previous refusal of Judge

Pablo Llarena

to facilitate the free return of

Carles Puigdemont

.

While Justice turns its back on his desires, Pedro Sánchez considers the process to be over and the secessionist mob closest to the fugitive and to the ANC harasses Junqueras in the streets, while questioning the usefulness of the negotiation table with the Government.

Hence, the lawyer for the president of ERC,

Andreu Van den Eynde

, alleged yesterday that it was "foreseeable" that the Prosecutor's Office would maintain the "thesis most favorable to maintaining a certain repression."

The lawyer considers that "only by altering the authentic interpretation of the law could it be said that the facts of the process are embezzlement", contrary to what both Llarena and the Public Ministry consider.

Van den Eynde believes he is obtaining the "weapons" to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.

"Such biased interpretations generate international adherence to the cause of prisoners and exiles," said the lawyer, echoing the political argument used by ERC to defend that its reform of the Penal Code can be beneficial for separatism, although to reap the expected fruits. you have to go to Strasbourg, a calculation that did not figure among the cabals of Junqueras and Pere Aragonès, who considered their negotiating strategy saved after achieving that the crime of sedition was suppressed and that of embezzlement was reduced.
