On EP NEWSHUB
I am sure that we, @Europarl_EN, will lift the immunity of Carles #Puigdemont, Antoni #Comin and Clara #Ponsati with a very large majority. @Europarl_EN fully trusts the Spanish authorities and the #RuleOfLaw in #Spain.
In the case of Carles #Puigdemont, Antoni #Comin and Clara #Ponsati the accusation is very grave. They are accused by the Spanish prosecutors of sedition and misuse of public funds. In no way can @Europarl_EN hinder the work of the Spanish judiciary.
I voted today to lift of immunity of the Catalan secessionists. On each demand to lift the immunity of a Member of @Europarl_EN, I vote in favour, irrespective of the nature of the accusation.
