The leader of ERC, Oriol Junqueras, asserts that the amnesty is essential to "be able to negotiate on equal terms the substance of the political conflict: how Catalonia exercises its right to self-determination."
He said this in a message on the social network
The president of ERC affirms that "nothing" of what was done in the "procès" was a crime but that, despite that, the persecution "has not ceased."
Junqueras recalls in a message on social networks that today marks four years since the publication of the Supreme Court ruling that sentenced the leaders of the process to sentences totaling "a century in prison."
"Nothing we did is a crime," the Republican leader emphasizes, "but the persecution against the independence movement has not stopped."
