The Plenary of the Constitutional Court has unanimously rejected the resort of the former President of the Generalitat of Catalonia Artur more, sentenced to one year and one month of disqualification and 36,000 euros of a fine of serious disobedience to the constitutional in the 2014 9-N consultation
.
Legal sources have advanced EFE the ruling of the sentence, whose content will be known in the coming days, which exhausts the judicial journey of Mas in Spain and opens the door to resort before the European Court of Human Rights (TEDH).
The magistrates thus support the sentence of the Supremo that rejected all the arguments of the former President, who invoked his constitutional rights to participation and ideological freedom and expression in search of his absolution.
He alleged that his conviction violated up to five constitutional precepts and that the TSJC errded in the assessment of some tests, did not practice a series of proceedings requested in time and form and incurred a series of contradictions, arguments dismissed by the Supreme and also by the Constitutional
.
Artur Mas, President of Govern at that time, was convicted by the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) to two years of disqualification, the maximum penalty for disobedience, considering that it disobeyed the Constitutional Court, which had declared the independence consultation illegal
From November 9, 2014.
However, the Supreme Court drew to 13 months by equating it with the conviction of the former presidential and former deputy of the PDECAT Francesc Homs, directly judged by the High Court as apparent by its status as national deputy.
The same thing happened with the former Vice President Joana Ortega, to which the Supreme came down from a year and nine months to nine months and for the former cheers Irene Rigau of a year and a half to six months.
The execution of the judgment of Mas began on January 23, 2019, so its disqualification culminated on February 23, 2020. Since then it is free to return to the political arena.
