Quim Torra was the first Catalan president to be forced to from office by the courts. His refusal to remove a banner in solidarity with political prisoners and exiles cost him the presidency in autumn 2020. The same banner, now object of a second trial, has now cost him an additional fifteen months' ban from office and a €24,000 fine. Torra has ten days to appeal to the Audiencia de Barcelona.

Catalonia's High Court has suspended CUP MP Pau Juvillà for 6 months and handed him a €1,080 fine for disobedience. Juvillà, currently the third secretary of the Catalan Parliamentary Bureau, represented CUP as a local councillor in Lleida. As such, he refused to take down yellow ribbons (used to protest against political prisoners) from the party's office in the Town Council in the spring of 2019 despite receiving an order from the electoral board.
