      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/c75c01f2-7789-4cdb-bd0e-aa0696dbd5ff_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>After the European justice's approval of the amnesty, a couple of immediate questions remain, the first: <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/who-remains-to-be-amnestied-after-the-ruling-of-the-ecj_1_5800949.html" >who remains to be amnestied?</a>Here we explain it: the CDRs (indicted in the National Court for terrorism) and those pending before the Court of Auditors, accused by the Prosecutor's Office and by Societat Civil Catalana, which is claiming five million from them, but then there is a small trickle of cases distributed in various parts of the country. And the other: <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/when-can-puigdemont-return_129_5800318.html" >when can Puigdemont return?</a> Núria Orriols, our delegate in Madrid, reviews all possible scenarios, which include the fact that the Supreme Court has no deadline to rush its decision and could even ask Europe again if embezzlement is amnestible, even though the Constitutional Court had already said that the amnesty was constitutional. The only certainty is that the Constitutional Court will rule in the autumn precisely on whether embezzlement is amnestible. And this is where the political calendar comes in: in Madrid, it is rumored that it will be in the autumn when Pedro Sánchez can announce the call for elections. If Puigdemont arrives before or during the campaign, the consequences are diverse: it helps Junts, it campaigns for PP and VOX against the PSOE in Spain and it helps the PSC in Catalonia. Yesterday Aznar said that "the seditious aggression" could not go unpunished. And it is that in the amnesty two grievances converge according to PP, the patriotic grievance (Spain is not voted for) and that of power, and here is where the two public enemies number one are found: Puigdemont and Sánchez. They want them both in prison. The PSOE governs having lost, thanks to the amnesty agreed with Junts. Aznar, incidentally, recalled that the unity of Spain is basic for the European Union, as is that of Italy or Germany or any other country. Aznar and a good part of Spanish politics put unity first and then democracy, with the mental reservation that without unity there is no democracy. From this tangle between aggravated flag and the power they do not have, there is the reason for the refusal of the Spanish judicial leadership to apply a law that has been approved for more than two years, which is Constitutional and in accordance with Community legislation. Remember the 2006 Statute. We've been the same for 20 years. And the problem is that in these 20 years the country has changed a lot, the world has changed a lot, needs have multiplied and we don't have all the tools. And the parties in Catalonia are too divided to overcome the enormity of the challenge that the future of the country represents. A certain unity of action is a necessary condition.Good morning.</p>]]></description>

Nine are also accused of possessing and manufacturing explosives, <a href="https://www.elconfidencial.com/espana/2021-08-20/fiscalia-procesar-cdr-terrorismo-atentar-objetivos_3240122/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ECExclusivo"  rel="nofollow"><em>El Confidencial</em></a><em> </em>reported and ARA has confirmed. The Prosecutor's Office considers there is sufficient proof that the accused were part of a "stable parallel clandestine terrorist organisation, whose objective was to carry out violent actions or attacks against previously selected targets, using explosives and incendiary substances manufactured in the two clandestine laboratories the organisation had installed in two private homes" in response to the sentencing of politicians over the 2017 referendum. </p>]]></description>

Grassroots members of this clandestine organisation explain to ARA that they have decided to take action with a "constant presence in the street" to spur mobilisations after the protests over the sentence of the Independence bid stopped dead in their tracks and the pandemic cooled the movement. According to the same sources, the first action will come in the coming weeks. They are part of the collective Acció per la Independència, which under the mantle of CDRs (Committees for the Defence of the Republic) made themselves known this Sant Jordi with a statement and a massive hanging of banners throughout the territory organised by about twenty groups, all with the same slogan: "Disobedience. The road to independence".</p>]]></description>
