The demonstration that should have been

Last night, Carles Puigdemont exacted a significant price. As we explained yesterday, The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in his favor. (him, Comín, and Ponsatí) and established that the European Parliament stripped them of their parliamentary immunity with clear bias. The ruling states that the rapporteur in charge of investigating the Supreme Court's request was a Bulgarian MEP from the same political group as Vox, the party that acted as a private prosecutor in the trial of the Catalan independence leaders. This individual participated in an event entitled "Catalonia is Spain" in which he called himselfPuigdemont in prison"What happened yesterday doesn't happen very often, because the court has corrected the shortcomings in the European Parliament and the General Court of the European Union and told them to please do things properly. The president in exile celebrated it thus:"

"This is a highly significant decision because, firstly, it overturns the decision, the judgment, of the General Court with unprecedented forcefulness. But secondly, and above all, it is a very harsh blow to the European Parliament, which has seen its immunities annulled because they were tainted by the European elections, and therefore, in a politically flawed process."

This decision is unrelated to the amnesty that we are still waiting to be fully implemented, and therefore has no legal bearing on the lifting of the arrest warrant in Spain, which depends on Europe, the Constitutional Court, and ultimately the Supreme Court. However, politically it strengthens Puigdemont. When will he return?

The Constitutional Court is waiting for the European Court of Justice to rule on the amnesty, and it seems this will happen in April. I think it's unlikely Puigdemont will be able to return before the summer, but we're in uncertain territory.

While Sánchez's international stature grows, he continues to confront those he calls "techno-oligarchs," even without mentioning Trump.

Here is the article he wrote in the New York TimesIn it, he contrasts his recent regularization of immigrants with Trump's police raids in Minneapolis. Remember that the ARA has an agreement with the New York Times, for which we have the exclusive rights to translate its contents into Catalan.

And what about commuter rail? Minister Paneque announced yesterday in Parliament that the service (to put it generously) will be free until the system is fully restored. It will be free for several months. Meanwhile, the famous Rubí tunnel has already reopened, and the AP-7 motorway could reopen next week. The Rubí tunnel is the freight tunnel for the Port of Barcelona. Aware of its importance, and as the minister knows it is necessary to communicate, He posted this video yesterday.With a camera on the train entering Rubí. To conclude the notices and announcements, the train journey between Barcelona and Madrid will take another 25 minutes until December.

With a scenario like this, tomorrow half the country should be demonstrating in Barcelona, ​​like in 2007. I wish. But eighteen years have passed. It's touching to see that the manifesto calling for the massive 2007 demonstration demanded the transfer of the transport and infrastructure network, the collection and management of taxes in Catalonia, and the publication of fiscal balances to the Generalitat (Catalan government). We're back where we started, at the Monopoly's starting point, after a stint in prison. Let the political parties reflect on why there isn't even the necessary unity for a single demonstration.

Good morning.
