Laura Borràs was sentenced to four and a half years in prison and another 13 years of disqualification for cutting public contracts to benefit a friend. She had refused to give up her seat, and was listed as suspended president of the Catalan Chamber.

The decision taken this Thursday by the table marks a point and apart in the interim situation that was at the head of the Parliament. Junts, ERC and the CUP agree that the position should remain in the hands of the independence movement.
