Prosecutors were not inclined to file a lawsuit against … More by – La Rioja

All indications are that the Prosecutor of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia will not exercise any criminal action against the president of the Generalitat of 9-N. The attorney general, Eduardo Torres-Dulce began to pave the way in this regard and warned that “it is not necessary for the prosecutor handling the case to court” because no open an investigation in courts following reports of various political forces. The lack of enthusiasm for the prosecution caused deep unease in Moncloa, where they warned prosecutors Catalonia that have a “hierarchical” dependency and state representatives “in defense of the law.”

The furious reaction of PP after Sunday’s vote on the independence of Catalonia may come to nothing. Most members of the Prosecutor of the High Court of Justice Catalan matter that has not seen the actions of Artur Mas to file a complaint of disobedience to the suspension handed down by the Constitutional Court, let alone abuse of power, malfeasance and misappropriation of public funds, as identified in the first draft prepared by the technical secretariat of the Attorney General’s Office the day after the consultation.

Torres-Dulce is therefore between a rock, the Government of Mariano Rajoy, and the wall, prosecutors in Catalonia. The attorney general had anticipated that it would take a decision when you receive the report of its representatives in the High Court, but yesterday said at a ceremony held in the Catalan Burgos Attorney will have the last word of his department. This tilts, according to legal sources, to dismiss the complaint for contempt because N-9 was a political act and act against it would be disproportionate to the Criminal Code in hand. Torres-Dulce reminded that it is not his custom to set a course of action to subordinates. It has only once in his three years in office, and went with the ‘Pheasant case’, in which he ordered appeal the judgment of the High Court to the Supreme.

Torres-Dulce says that “it is not necessary for the prosecutor handling the case to court ‘

The Attorney General, therefore, hinted that it will not contradict the opinion of the Ministry in Catalonia and gave a clue to believe that it will. He said “not necessary” that the attorney acting for judges to investigate whether Mas and other members of his government committed a crime because there is an open in the Superior Court of Catalonia by complaints from various parties and private citizens.

The position of Torres-Dulce and Catalan Prosecution did not will sit well in the Government of Rajoy. Soraya Saenz de Santamaria took the appearance after the Council of Ministers to remind the public prosecutor in Catalonia has a “hierarchical dependency ‘attorney general, and the principle of operation is above its criteria for what happened on 9-N.

The vice president also stressed that the prosecutor exercised “the representation of the State in defense of the law,” and one of the three branches of government, the Executive, believes that the Sunday law was violated in Catalonia . The principles that guide the actions of the Prosecutor, continued government number two, are “the legality and impartiality,” and while tax lawyers are not the Executive, “exercise the State’s defense in criminal matters.”

With these considerations, the vice president insisted that the prosecution is “autonomous” from the government, and this “respect the decision” to take in this matter whatever it is. Saenz de Santamaria, however, insisted that the government’s view is that Mas and his advisers committed “unlawful” 9-N. The Moncloa trust, nevertheless, that the Prosecution querelle against Mas. Do not admit, let in a bad place the Government, but especially the PP, whose leader in Catalonia, Alicia Sanchez-Camacho, luxury is allowed on Tuesday to ensure that the prosecution is querellaría that day and even detailed the offenses to be charged.

If the possibility of no criminal prosecution against Mas caused unease in government circles, was cause for satisfaction among business and Catalan political forces. President of the Economic Circle, Antón Costas, said his “hope that does not take place (the lawsuit)” and circulate political channels of “dialogue and coexistence.” Democratic Union leader, Josep Antoni Duran Lleida, also felt it would be “a serious mistake, the nth ‘would commit the Government, the Public Ministry is More to court because it would create” more irritation “among the Catalan population is independence or not. A view shared by socialists, as has been pointed out days ago PSOE leader, Pedro Sanchez, and the PSC, Miquel Iceta.

Those who are waiting with open arms almost the complaint are Catalan sovereigntist forces, whose leaders admit privately that a step in that direction by the Government of Rajoy mobilize even more independence and also create a reaction in the Catalan citizens, not being in favor of the separation of Spain, would not tolerate that its president be prosecuted for supporting a vote.

The spokesman for the Catalan Government, Francesc Homs, not verbalized this posture of the sovereignist forces, but said Mas is “absolutely quiet” for a possible lawsuit.
