Vara defends that the current Penal Code did not prevent the referendum and asks "what is the alternative" to reforming it

MADRID, 13 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of the Junta de Extremadura, Guillermo Fernández Vara, has defended this Tuesday that the events that occurred in Catalonia in 2017 were carried out with the current Criminal Code "and it did not serve to avoid a referendum and a unilateral declaration of independence", and It has been asked "what is the alternative" to reforming it to improve the situation in this region.

"What's more, Puigdemont fled and we have not been able to arrest him with the current Penal Code. The same if we had had other criminal offenses more approved with Europe, Puigdemont would have been prosecuted here, with a lesser penalty, but we would not have had to endure that whoever declared the DUI escaped", said Vara in an informative event organized by 'elEconomista'.

In any case, Vara has avoided clarifying whether or not he supports this reform of the Penal Code to repeal the crime of sedition or touch on embezzlement, and has limited himself to ensuring that he lives in Spain "of nuances."

In this context, the socialist 'baron' has recognized that he does not like that governance depends on the pro-independence groups, because, as he has said, "they do not consider Spain to be their project."
