Vox pushes prosecution of Puigdemont with 256 witnesses

Vox pushes prosecution of Puigdemont: 256 witnesses and Law 20/2017 at the center

The judicial process surrounding Carles Puigdemont, former president of the Generalitat, has acquired a political and legal dimension that transcends the Catalan scene. The Prosecutor's Office has requested 256 witnesses, according to the file in the Supreme Court archive. This figure reflects the magnitude of the investigation, which ranges from the organization of the September 20, 2017 demonstration to the convening of the National Assembly.

Vox filed a brief requesting the annulment of the trial and the application of Art. 155 of the Constitution. The party, which has positioned itself as a defender of the unity of the State, argues that the actions of the Generalitat abusa national sovereignty.

The Ministry of Justice, through the State Attorney General's Office, has prepared a draft indictment that includes documentary and testimonial evidence. The document is based on Law 20/2017, of September 8, which regulates secession and state intervention.

The media outlet Cadena SER has published an infographic summarizing the request for witnesses and the steps of the process. The infographic, available on its portal, facilitates understanding of the complexity of the case.

The Supreme Court has accepted the lawsuit and has scheduled a preliminary hearing for the next quarter. The judges indicated that the final decision will depend on the assessment of the evidence and the interpretation of Law 20/2017.

The debate remains open. While Vox and the State Attorney's Office continue to push the accusation, Puigdemont's defense maintains that the process abusa constitutional principles. The outcome is pending the assessment of the evidence and the interpretation of current regulations.

In a context where Catalan politics and state regulations intertwine, the Supreme Court hearing is shaping up to be the decisive point that will determine the future of the independence question and the application of Art. 155.
