Carles Puigdemont has reacted immediately and harshly to the European Parliament's decision to investigate his ties to Russian interference.

president, all this would not happen," he has come to assert.

While negotiating with the Government of

Pedro Sánchez

a tailor-made amnesty to be exonerated even of the crime of high treason of proving his links with the Kremlin to promote the secession of Catalonia and destabilize the European Union, the former president of the Generalitat has sent a letter to all MEPs in which he accuses Judge

Joaquín Aguirre

, who is investigating the case for the Russian plot of the

process

, of acting motivated by "his animosity" towards the Catalan independence movement and questions the validity of the determinations made by the European Parliament .

"The lightness with which the entire Russian issue has been treated is appalling," says Puigdemont in his letter, who accuses the Community Chamber of "acting as a sounding board for the partisan strategies of the national delegations."
