"The decision was predictable, but that does not make it any less regrettable". This is how the former president Carles Puigdemont reacted to Tuesday's vote in the Legal Affairs Committee in favor of withdrawing his, Toni Comín and Clara Ponsatí's parliamentary immunity. The Junts MEP criticised the politicisation of the entire processing of the request after parliamentarians of the PP, Cs and Vox celebrated the result of the vote and the irregularities that, according to Puigdemont, there have been throughout the process. Junts MEPs say they will continue "fighting" until the end, referring to the vote in the plenary in two weeks that will have to confirm the decision, but acknowledge that "the most likely" is that the plenary will end up withdrawing their immunity. They have already warned that they will appeal against the final decision and the irregularities in the process before the European justice system: "The battle continues outside the European Parliament"
