The Together for Catalonia ticket (JxCat) is filing a lawsuit against the Spanish vice president, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, for perverting the course of justice, following her comments that it was “Mariano Rajoy and the People’s Party” who left pro-independence forces in Catalonia “headless.”

The lawsuit was announced by the spokesperson for Together for Catalonia, Eduard Pujol, following the official lunch and event for the ruling People’s Party (PP), where Sáenz de Santamaría also asked PP voters to cast their ballots for Rajoy’s party in Catalonia, led by Xavier García Albiol, in order to “continue dissolving the independence movement” and “settle” the actions carried out since the application of Article 155 by Madrid.
