The General Court today issued an Order rejecting the appeal filed by the three VOX MEPs before Brexit against the decision of the President of the European Parliament to accept Puigdemont and Comín as members of that Parliament.

The inadmissibility is based exclusively on formal grounds considering that Jorge Buxadé, Hermann Tertsch and Mazaly Aguilar do not have, as MEPs, the status of legitimized because they are not directly affected by that decision, despite the fact that their appointment effectively modifies the composition of Parliament.

The I decidedThe General Court does not enter into assessing the grounds of the claim nor the legality of what was done by the European Parliament:

  • Puigdemont and Comín have not complied with Spanish electoral legislation by not appearing before the Central Electoral Board to swear or promise the position as a member of parliament as required by the LOREG.
  • The European Parliament has not verified the credentials of these two escapees because they have never been sent by the Central Electoral Board.
  • The decision of the European Parliament violates the Rules of Procedure of the Chamber and the European Electoral Act, which refer to the national legislation of each State.

The Court avoids going to the merits of the matter with a restrictive interpretation of its own rules.

This decision is based on a restrictive regulation, which in turn is interpreted restrictively by the European court, which shows that the institutions of the Union want to place themselves above good and evil and that there are fewer guarantees within the Union. and balances of respect for the rule of law than in the member states.

The sample is that in Spain the VOX deputies have been able to appeal to the TC the oaths of the Constitution of the separatist deputies.

It is an escpolish andalthe fact that the social-communist government has tried to participate in the judicial procedure voluntarily requesting to make allegations against the VOX deputies and in favor of the European Parliament, which had violated Spanish electoral legislation. We have learned that when we read the Order of the Court, an allegation that is also rejected. SatSánchez and Iglesias have tried to use state resources to defend the escaped coup plotters before the institutions of the Union, and without a doubt it has harmed the action of our deputies.

If the Government had exercised the powers that correspond to it, Puigdemont and Comín would not be deputies. Everything is part of Sánchez's pact with the separatists.

In any case, we will continue fighting, before the negligence of the Government, so that Spanish law is complied with and Puigdemont, Comín and Ponsatí remain at the disposal of the Supreme Court to be judged, despite the government trying to prevent it.

VOX legal services are studying whether there will be recourse.
