Laura Borràs accuses judges of cheating before the law is made

"The law is done, the trap is done," the saying goes. However. For the president of Junts, Laura Borràs, judges Manuel García-Castellón and Joaquín Aguirre reverse the order of the saying, that is, they cheat before the law is made. She explained it in an interview this Thursday in Ser Catalunya in relation to the "interferences" that, in the opinion of the independence leader, these and other magistrates are exercising in the exclusive task of the legislative power.

Borràs, after remembering that it is said from Europe that they cannot demonstrate about an amnesty law that does not yet exist because it would be interfering, has accused the magistrates precisely of interfering and has once again defended the negative vote of his parliamentary group on the law. of amnesty last Tuesday and its amendments arguing that what they do is provide for "legal persecution" about which, as he said, "we cannot claim ignorance."

"We have seen judges giving instructions, almost making manuals, to explain how a law can be torpedoed, sabotaged or not applied," denounced Borràs, who has acknowledged that the PSOE "has moved" but has warned that "the judges are "They move a lot and very fast."

"We have judges who have not yet made the law and want to cheat," accused Borràs, who sees in this "a manifest disobedience, a challenge from the judiciary to the legislature." "These judges do not want to apply the amnesty law because they do not want there to be a damnistía law," said the post-convergent president, for whom "there is no more evident example of the politicization of justice than the obstacles that (the judges) are putting in the amnesty law".

"This from a democratic point of view should be unusual, the problem is that since the democratic deficits in Spain are so great, it seems that almost no one is surprised," denounced the independence leader, who emphasized that "the legislature must legislate and the judiciary must apply what comes out of the legislature.

In any case, Borràs has defended an "amnesty for all, of immediate application and protected against judicial attacks", as has his party spokesman Josep Rius, who in an interview on TVE, has warned that the current wording may leave hundreds of people out of criminal oblivion between the Tsunami, Volhov and CDR cases.

"If ERC thinks that the law is good but they themselves recognize that there are people like Rubén Wagensberg who are left out, they will have to explain their position," Rius argued about the criticism that his party is receiving from Republicans for Tuesday's vote. .

The post-convergent spokesperson has highlighted the contradiction that, in his opinion, the PSOE recognizes in the parliamentary headquarters that "there was neither terrorism nor treason and that later amendments are not approved that want these concepts to be included in the processes against Catalan independentists".

Regarding the future negotiations with the PSOE to save the amnesty, Rius has assured that Junts will maintain the negotiation until the end, on which he has been optimistic and "convinced" that both parties will put "all the efforts and energies "to reach an agreement that complies with the Brussels agreement which, as he recalled, implied that the amnesty had to be comprehensive and of immediate application, the mantra that Carles Puigdemont's people are repeating this week.
