Spain's Supreme court reviews case of Catalan President's disqualification

Madrid, Sep17 (Sputnik) - The Spanish Supreme Court on Thursday is reviewing the cassation appeal of Catalan President Quim Torra against the verdict of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia, which had deprived him of the right to hold elective office.
In December 2019, the High Court of Justice of Catalonia convicted Torra for disobeying the Spanish central electoral commission’s order to remove pro-independence symbols from government buildings during the election campaigns in the spring of 2019. The sentence prescribed his disqualification from holding elected public office, either at local, regional, national or European levels for 18 months. The Catalan leader, who had the right to appeal the decision, was also fined 30,000 euros (
33,000).
