Nearly two years since Catalan separatists organized a referendum of
self-determination, some of whom are still imprisoned or exiled,
fifty-two French deputies from the left and the center demand that the
"repression against elected Catalans" cease in a published forum on Sunday in the Le Journal du Dimanche (Sunday newspaper).
"Because of their political choices, for having wanted to organize a vote, elected officials are imprisoned, exiled, and risk being sentenced to heavy prison terms," write these deputies, mostly from the groups IDU, Liberties and Territory, France insubordinate and GDR (communist).
"The respect of institutional rules is one thing, but we consider
that the political debate can not be resolved by the repression, by
attacks on the rights of the people, by a form of offense of opinion,"
they continue. "Like many voices in Spain and elsewhere, we call for the
appeasement of tensions and the end of arbitrary measures that affect
elected representatives of universal suffrage," they conclude.
UDI President Jean-Christophe Lagarde, PCF National Secretary Fabien
Roussel, Rogue Leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Former Ministers Marie-George
Buffet (PCF) and Sylvia Pinel (PRG), Deputy Régis Juanico (Generations)
are among the signatories. The main trial of the attempted secession of Catalonia in October
2017 was completed in June. The verdict should be known in the fall.
