The Spanish Supreme Court opens proceedings against former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont for the crime of terrorism in the Tsunami Democràtic case.
This Thursday, the Spanish supreme court announced the opening of an investigation for “terrorism” against Catalan independence leader Carles Puigdemont, in connection with the unrest, which followed the prison sentence of separatist leaders.
Spanish justice accuses him of his links with “Tsunami Democràtic”. a mysterious group which carried out blocking actions in Catalonia.
“Democratic tsunami.” had called for protests against the sentencing on October 14, 2019 of nine independence leaders to prison for their role in the 2017 secession attempt.
Thousands of activists notably led the blockade of Barcelona airport. This organization had also been at the origin of road blockages in Catalonia in a context of high tensions marked by scenes of urban guerrilla warfare in Barcelona.
This announcement comes as the Spanish government and Carles Puigdemont’s party are negotiating an amnesty law for separatists involved in the attempted secession of Catalonia in 2017, which plunged the country into one of the worst political crises ever experienced. .
