Catalan leader’s immunity started when election result declared, top EU court rules

SPAIN was in turmoil yesterday after Europe’s top court sensationally ruled that a Catalan independence leader jailed after the October 2017

The EU Court has ruled that Catalan politicians elected to the European Parliament also have immunity like the other EMPs!

This means that political prisoner and MEP Oriol Junqueras has to be released from jail, and the exiled Catalan politicians Carles Puigdemont and Toni Comín have to be allowed to take their seat at the European Parliament (Spain has been banning them all this time, even though they were democratically elected, because they are Catalan independentists).

As an answer to this European Court sentence, many Spaniards have started a campaign called Spexit where they defend Spain leaves the EU, which according to them is interfering in Spanish affairs by making the votes of Catalan people in the European elections count.

Update January 3rd 2020: after all these days since the EU Court ruling, Junqueras was still not released from jail. Today, Spain has officially declared that they will not free him, and they are opening a case for the European Union to take away his seat as a Member of the European Parliament, even though he was voted for it.
