Bal considers it "positive" for Spain that the nine pardoned for the 'procés' cause return to prison

MADRID, 25 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The deputy secretary general and national spokesperson for Ciudadanos, Edmundo Bal, said Wednesday that he considers it "positive" that the nine pardoned for the 'procés' cause return to prison. This has been expressed after the Supreme Court (TS) has decided to admit for processing the appeals filed against the granting of these pardons, which implies that it will study them to rule on the merits of the matter.

"Is it positive for Spain that convictions are carried out, that there is justice and that the law is not broken? Yes, it is positive?" Europa Press, when asked if he considers it positive that the procés leaders return to prison.

Bal has welcomed the fact that yesterday "one more step" was taken so that the Supreme Court, regarding the substance of the matter, can declare "the nullity of those pardons so that those convicted of serious crimes of sedition, embezzlement and disobedience enter the prison of which should never have left".

Bal has pointed out that it seems to him a "correct" jurisprudence because they want the TS to rule "on the merits" because, as he has slipped, this in the future is going to cause "there to be legal certainty regarding the possible application of the cause of public utility of the pardon law, which dates back to 1870".

For the leader of Ciudadanos, pardons today "only" can be applied for reasons of "fairness and justice", "but not for the reasons of public utility that the Government has invoked." In this sense, he has criticized that the Government has used it as a cause of "private utility" to "stay in power by giving in to the blackmail of the independentistas and separatisaras".

Likewise, he has charged against the Catalan president, Pere Aragonès, who "was very quiet when in the first resolution" the Supreme Court told them that "they did not" have legitimacy. Thus, he has made it ugly that when justice agrees with them they say that "the judges are wonderful", while when they take it away they criticize "they call them the armed judicial arm of the right".
