Spain Denies the Right of Catalan Vice President and newly elected MP to attend the Parliament

Catalan vice president Oriol Junqueras, who has been in jail for more than two months, was deniend permission to attend the Catalan parliament’s opening plenary session to maintain the pro-independence bloc’s majority. The situation is surreal as Junqueras was the leading candidate of its party, ERC, and obtained 32 MPs and 929.407 votes to be in the Parliament. Democracy in Spain is being adulterated and raped. Moreover the Spanish inquisition also stated that votes could not be taken by proxy, meaning that Junqueras and his two imprisoned colleagues, Joaquim Forn and Jordi Sànchez, might not be able to vote in absentia.
