Ciudadanos has seen its intention for the Parliament to investigate the contacts of the Catalan independence movement with Russia to “politically destabilize” a European Union country such as Spain and “subvert the constitutional order” frustrated.
To create a parliamentary investigation commission into possible Russian interference in the process, the group chaired by Carlos Carrizosa needed the help of two others, but neither the PSC nor Vox have supported their initiative. “The Parliament should not turn its back on this information,” he lamented.
In the case of the extreme right, Ciudadanos considers that Vox has had a “broken heart” between Vladimir Putin’s Russia and Ukraine since the beginning of the war and that is why it now does not want to delve into Moscow’s possible responsibility in the independence process in Catalonia. .
And as for the socialists, Carrizosa has denounced that the PSC’s refusal to politically investigate what happened adds to the PSOE’s refusal to continue the judicial processes by processing an amnesty law “tailored to Carles Puigdemont” and promoting modifications in the Law of Criminal Procedure (Lecrim) in order to limit the investigation of criminal proceedings against independentists.
In this sense, the president of Ciudadanos in Catalonia has described the reform of the Lecrim proposed by the Government of Pedro Sánchez as “legal savagery” and has assured that before it the judges “have thrown their hands on their heads” for the ” “legal impunity” that it will entail, that it will “leave in its infancy,” Carrizosa exclaimed, to the law of only yes means yes, which led to the downward revision of numerous convictions for sexual assault.
With the Parliament’s path blocked in a “scandalous and regrettable” way, in any case, Carrizosa has celebrated that the European Union is willing to debate Russian interference and has recalled that the liberal group of the European Parliament, in which Ciudadanos has seven representatives, has requested that the contacts between former President Puigdemont’s entourage and the Kremlin be included in the plenary session on the espionage of a Latvian MEP for Moscow over twenty years.
