Jordi Sànchez, former president of the civil society organization Catalan National Assembly to the Spanish court: "You cannot be both judge and victim of the independence roadmap"

Jordi Sànchez, number two of Carles Puigdemont party JxCat (Together for Catalonia) and former activist, criticized the Spanish Supreme judge for not being "impartial".  MP Jordi Sànchez, former president of the grassroots civil society organization Catalan National Assembly (ANC) said: "You cannot be both judge and victim of the independence roadmap," he told him in court. In his statement before the judge, Sànchez also urged the magistrate to respect his political rights and allow him to attend Parliament to be voted as president. The judge denied him permission to attend the vote despite the UN Committee on Human Rights urging Spain to take "all measures" needed to respect his political rights.
