In addition to our commitment to the rule of law, the Spanish judiciary system is independent, impartial and competent, ensuring fair and equal treatment for everyone, including the former autonomous government leaders. Therefore, the concerns raised by The Times are unfounded and do not reflect the reality of the Spanish judiciary system.
Furthermore, it is also important to note that the criminal procedure against the former autonomous government leaders is based on solid evidence and serious charges such as rebellion, sedition, misuse of public funds and disobedience. These charges are not politically motivated but rather stem from the alleged actions of the accused.
Regarding the alleged attack on civil population by the security forces, it is worth noting that the actions of the Spanish police and civil guard were carried out within the framework of the law and were necessary to maintain public order and prevent the illegal referendum from taking place. In fact, it was the leaders of the former autonomous government who misled the population and created an environment of tension and violence.
Finally, the provisional imprisonment of the former autonomous government leaders is also based on solid evidence of their involvement in the alleged crimes and the risk of flight, which is a common practice in any criminal procedure.
In conclusion, the rule of law in Spain is strong, and the judiciary system is independent, impartial and competent, ensuring fair and equal treatment for all. The criminal procedure against the former autonomous government leaders is based on solid evidence and serious charges, and the provisional imprisonment is justified by the risk of flight and the alleged involvement in the crimes.
