Josep Costa has requested the annulment of all the judicial actions followed against the members of the Parliamentary Table that the vice-president prosecuted for serious disobedience and pending trial that should be held at the beginning of October.
In an incident of annulment sent to the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC), Costa alleges that if the magistrates José María Barrientos and Carlos Ramos, who were part of the court that was supposed to judge them, were challenged at their request due to doubts about their impartiality, they were not impartial to admit the complaint that triggered all the proceedings. "And if they weren't," Costa assures in a tweet, "that decision is null," so he understands that "if the first decision is invalid, the entire process is null and void." "That is what I have asked for, that everything be annulled," the former vice president of the Table has sentenced.
For this reason, Costa demands the annulment of all the actions of the case in which the two magistrates participated, understanding that their lack of impartiality supposed a "nullity defect", and requests that the process be brought back to the moment of designation of the court that The complaint was admitted for processing.
The TSJC must try the then President of Parliament Roger Torrent, current Minister of Business, and the members of JxCat and ERC at the time on the Chamber Table – Josep Costa, Eusebi Campdepadrós and Adriana Delgado – for a crime of disobedience by allowing the processing of sovereignist resolutions and disapproval of the monarchy in 2019, for which the Prosecutor's Office asks them for up to one year and eight months of disqualification and a 30,000-euro fine.
It so happens that precisely the challenges of Barrientos and Ramos have left the court without judges, given that none of the possible substitutes or volunteers is available for the date on which the oral trial is held on the next 5, 6 and 7 of october. The trial has already undergone several date changes.
