Jordi Turull: "The people of Catalonia are not sheep, they are not militarised people to whom you can just say: Go here, go there!' It's not like that"

The Catalan Minister Jordi Turull begun his intervention in the trial of the process at the High Court rejecting the formulation of many of the questions of the prosecutor Jaime Moreno, and has added that in the written accusation of the Prosecutor the pro-independence process appeared suddenly:

"This process, in its written accusation, is based on the fact that one day the light came on and a blank book fell on the table. Just like that! That just doesn't stand up anywhere."
The minister stated that the main part of this narrative is missing: a pro-independence movement which he stated, "goes from below upwards":

"The people of Catalonia are not sheep, they are not militarised people to whom you can just say: ‘Go here, go there…!' It's not like that. The people of Catalonia, whether pro-independence or not, whether from the extreme right or extreme left, from the centre,... they have criteria. We are in the 21st century. I say this because we hear of the people in a way that totally misunderstands Catalonia and the pro-independence movement. The pro-independence movement in Catalonia goes from below upwards."
