The Central Electoral Board strips Laura Borràs of her seat in Parliament

Breaches:



VOX, Ciudadanos and PP had requested the removal of Borràs after she had been sentenced for a crime of “prevaricació”, even though the sentence is not yet final. The Board applies the the same practice as in the cases of former president Quim Torra and former member of the Parliament Pau Juvillà (CUP). Borràs appeals the decision before the Supreme Court and requests its suspension, which will be denied. Once the suspension is denied, the Catalan Parliament strips Borràs of the seat.
