Marta Rovira says on Saturday that she would like to travel to Spain after the 'Tsunami case'
The general secretary of Esquerra Republicana, Marta Rovira, celebrated on Tuesday the decision of magistrate Manuel García Castellón to archive the case of the Democratic Tsunami and has opened the door to a return to Spain next Saturday, although the decision on the definitive return will take time. . The Republican was accused of a terrorist crime in that case and this obstacle prevented her from taking advantage of the amnesty law for those prosecuted by the process. After the file, only one crime of disobedience weighs on her, clearly included in the law approved by the government to erase criminal liability. 'The first thing I want to do is return to Vic [de donde es originaria]“Come visit my parents,” Rovira said in an interview on RAC-1, where she was noticeably excited.
“Now we can start celebrating. I would very much like to return and participate in the Esquerra Women’s Assembly. I would like to, I don’t know if it’s possible, but I want to appear there,” explained the Republican leader. The event will be held in Olesa de Montserrat (Barcelona). However, Rovira has said that the decision on her definitive return, after living in Switzerland for six years to avoid action from the Spanish judicial system, will be postponed, because it depends not only on her, but also on the work aspects of her partner and her partner’s life with his teenage daughter.
On July 1, Judge Pablo Llarena had notified Rovira of her request for amnesty for the crime of disobedience she was accused of, and also ordered the annulment of the arrest warrant against her. In February 2018, Llarena had released her on a bail of 60,000 euros after she had given her testimony about the events of the 1-0 referendum. A month later, he broke that precaution and she decided to flee to Geneva.
Rovira has also hinted that talks with the PSC about a possible investiture of Salvador Illa are going “well,” but has denied that it would be a priority to meet him if he decides to return soon. She has also ruled herself out of leading Esquerra again, although she has stressed that the leadership needs to change, an idea that has put her at odds with the party’s former leader, Oriol Junqueras. “I have many names in my head, but I can’t say them,” he concluded.
