European justice cancels the European Parliament's decision to withdraw immunity from Puigdemont

The ruling will not affect Puigdemont's situation because he did not participate in the last European elections, so he no longer has a seat.

On Thursday, the Court of Justice of the European Union found the former President of the Generalitat, Carles Puigdemont, and the exconsellers Clara Ponsatí and Toni Comín to be right in their appeal against the European Parliament's decision to suspend parliamentary immunity.

In any case, the ruling will not affect Puigdemont's situation because he did not participate in the last European elections, so he no longer has a seat.

The judge questions the report by the Bulgarian politician VMRO , Angel Dzhambazki, who is part of the European Parliament's group of Conservatives and Reformists, along with Vox and the far-right Italian Brothers, among others.

The European High Court has argued in its judgment that its report could be regarded as' impartial 'and that its designation would be' contrary to the right to good administration '.

He has therefore concluded that the General Court made a mistake in not repairing this fact in assessing the impartiality of the measure.
