R                Madrid: Spain’s Supreme Court on Monday effectively barred Catalonia’s regional president from his office for refusing to remove a banner that called for the release of imprisoned sep- aratist leaders and was dis- played on a public building ahead of the 2019 general elec- tion. The ruling that Quim Torra disobeyed Spain’s elec- toral law triggers a new period of political uncertainty in the northeastern region where a demand by some for indepen- dence has triggered the coun- try’s biggest constitutional cri- sis in decades. According to the existing regulations, Torra’s deputy should take over as president- in-charge until the regional parliament elects a new leader or a new election is held. Pro- secession activists reacted by calling for protests later Monday in the regional capital, Barcelona. In their ruling, the panel of judges unanimously agreed to uphold last year’s decision by a lower court to ban Torra from holding any public office for 18 months and fine him 30,000 euros (USD 35,000). Torra, a staunch separatist who became the head of Catalonia’s government fol- lowing the 2017 push for the region’s independence from Spain, had previously criti- cised the case as an act of repression against the democ- ratic mandate of voters in the region. His predecessor, Carles Puigdemont, who fled to Belgium after the Spanish gov- ernment deposed him for push- ing ahead with an indepen- dence declaration, criticised the court’s decision.
