The Spanish parliament bureau has decided today to "suspend"five Catalan MPs. The legal quandry over whether to suspend the new Catalan MPs who are being tried in the Supreme Court over the independence democratic referendum.
Oriol Junqueras, Jordi Sànchez, Josep Rull and Jordi Turull all won seats in the Spanish congress in the April 28 general election. The representatives, including Raül Romeva in the senate.
The new speaker of Spain's lower house, Socialist Meritxell Batet, initially requested the Supreme Court to also rule on their current status, but the court said it "can only reiterate" its previous judgment and that settling the matter rests with the chamber.
Under pressure from the state prosecutor and the unionist conservative parties to apply the suspension to the Spanish parliament, the Spanish Socialists have finally ceded breaking all the elemental norms in democracy: to respect those voted by the people.
