The Constitutional Court will grant a second protection to Alberto Rodríguez, estimating that he should not have been deprived of his seat. The majority criterion is that the former president of Congress Meritxell Batet violated the rights of the former deputy.
The court's argument is that, strictly speaking, there are no prison sentences of less than three months, because they must be commuted to a fine. The guarantee body therefore resolved to partially annul the Supreme Court ruling, estimates that its ruling should have focused on the imposition of a financial penalty and not even mention the prison sentence.
