The Catalan Parliament's Bureau plans to present a complaint against Supreme Court judge Pablo Llarena, according to JxCat and ERC spokespeople. The complaint is to be agreed in an extraordinary meeting this Friday called by the speaker, Roger Torrent.
The complaint has been agreed by the pro-independence parties as their response to the judge's decision to not allow Jordi Sànchez to attend or take part by phone or video link in the debate on his investiture as president which had been scheduled for this Friday.
The speaker had already released a statement announcing that this Friday's debate is postponed and calling an urgent meeting of the Bureau to respond to the "violation of rights by the Supreme Court".
In a later press conference in the Parliament, JxCat deputies Elsa Artadi and Josep Costa announced the decision to present the formal complaint, immediately confirmed by ERC spokesperson Sergi Sabrià.
JxCat had proposed such a complaint to the Bureau after the judge's first block to Sànchez's investiture. The Bureau then agreed to study it, now they appear to have come to an agreement to move ahead.
