The Minister of the Presidency, Relations with the Parliament and Democratic Memory, Félix Bolaños, has assured that if the suspended president of Parliament and president of Junts, Laura Borrà s, were from the PSOE, “she would have been expelled for years.”
This has been stated in statements to the media before participating in the act of changing the name of the Luisa Carnés de Coslada Library (Madrid), where he has been questioned if the Government is going to attend to the request of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) to grant a partial pardon to Borrà s.
Borrà s was sentenced for prevarication and documentary falsification, to avoid going to prison. “We are going to respect, as we always do, the judicial decisions”, she has stated, to remember that “in this case the sentence is not yet final”.
Specifically, the TSJC sentenced Borràs to four and a half years in prison and 13 years of disqualification for dividing contracts to award them by hand to a friend when he directed the Institució de las Lletres Catalanes (ILC) between 2013 and 2018. However, he raised a partial pardon so that he does not go to jail and that the sentence be reduced to no more than two years in order to avoid prison.
The sentence condemns her for the crimes of prevarication and documentary falsification and also imposes a fine of 36,080 euros for 18 minor contracts processed between 2013 and 2017, in addition to disqualification for three years from holding public office.
