The Supreme Court rejects the complaint that Vox filed against Pedro Sánchez for "conspiracy for rebellion"

He assures that the complaint of those of Santiago Abascal "is based exclusively" on "speculations"

MADRID, 22 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Supreme Court has agreed not to admit the complaint filed by Vox against the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, for an alleged crime of conspiracy for rebellion, considering that "there is no basis, minimally solid" that allows linking the head of the Executive with an action that seeks to cause the breakdown of the unity of Spain by subverting the constitutional order.

The magistrates have assured that "the plaintiff himself comes to recognize that none of the facts that he attributes to the defendants, considered in isolation, present a criminal nature." And they have stressed that the alleged conspiracy to which Vox refers "is based exclusively" on "speculation (...) without offering any element or principle of proof that reasonably supports its reality."

In an order, collected by Europa Press, the court has stressed that the complaint filed by those of Santiago Abascal constitutes a "complete challenge or criticism of the political line followed by the Government" in the framework of the cause of the 'procés' in the that the former vice president of Catalonia and ERC leader Oriol Junqueras and 11 other pro-independence leaders were sentenced.

In line, he has specified that this criticism is "fully legitimate on the political level, as legitimate is the opposite position." But he has stressed that "it will be in the political sphere and, ultimately and sovereignly, in the electoral contest itself, where it must be aired" and not in the courts.

Vox filed the complaint last December and at the gates of the Supreme Court, Abascal himself said that he went to court with "a lot of evidence, very well-balanced, with an unassailable legal argument."

"We went with the conviction that both reason and the law assist us," said the party leader after explaining that the complaint was also directed against "all the members of the dialogue table that has been converted into a true table of the conspiracy"; among others, the ministers Isabel Rodríguez and Félix Bolaños and the vice president Yolanda Díaz.

That day, Abascal insisted that he was accusing Sánchez of committing "a sustained coup over time that is taking unavoidable steps aimed not only at the illegal pardon of those convicted - of the 'procés', not only at eliminating crimes or crimes are reduced to achieve a covert amnesty, but to facilitate the future commission of crimes and that the State has no defense when some declare independence".

Within the framework of the resolution, and to the "displeasure" of Vox, the magistrates recalled that "independence parties are legal in Spain, based on the understanding made by the Constitutional Court."

"These are legal political parties, although pro-independence. And in this context, nothing can surprise that, in their electoral programs, to which the complaint also refers, they promote the achievement, through channels that are not expressly illegal or in terms that do not constitute a crime , of its declared purposes", added the Supreme Court.
