In a bold political move, lawmakers from the Catalan party Junts have submitted self-incriminating statements to the Spanish Supreme Court and the Catalan High Court.

This action is part of a campaign led by the Consell de la República, an organization headed by former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont, to protest what they describe as 'illegal and arbitrary' detentions following Puigdemont's recent escape from Spain.

The Junts representatives, including prominent figures like Josep Rull and Albert Batet, assert their involvement in Puigdemont's protection and departure, challenging the legal actions against them as unjust.

They argue that their participation in the event does not constitute a crime and criticize the perceived judicial overreach.

This campaign underscores ongoing tensions between Catalan separatists and Spanish authorities, highlighting issues of legal interpretation and political dissent.
