The Supreme Court has sentenced Joan Josep Nuet to eight months of disqualification and to pay 12,000 euros in fines for a crime of disobedience for allowing the processing of the disconnection laws when he was a member of the Parliamentary bureau in 2017. The decision means that Nuet, an ERC MP in Parliament, will have to leave the seat this legislature. In the sentence, the judges recognize that Nuet "sought to establish points of union and connection between two large strongly opposed groups", but argue that "either he complied or disobeyed, he had no other alternative, and he chose to disobey".
