@JosepBorrellF You should be strongly committed on improving your writing skills.

The Western Balkans are a priority during my mandate. I am strongly committed to relaunch the EU-facilitated dialogue and am thus looking forward to visit Kosovo and Serbia as first places in the region this week.

Another member of the Catalan government in exile got European immunity thanks to European Justice and the votes of the Catalans! 💪🏻💪🏻 @ClaraPonsati scotsman.com/news/brexit-wi…

Tajani @ep_president has some explaining to do. Until he does, he should avoid being photographed accepting any more awards from Spain. The EU Parliament is beginning to look farcical, and Brexit (although I never voted for it) is looking understandable. elnacional.cat/en/news/europe…

Urgent: le Parlement européen vient de refuser l’accès aux indépendantistes catalans @KRLS et Tony Comin, pourtant élus aux européennes. Argument : ils n’ont pas prêté serment sur la constitution espagnole. Mais aucun des élus espagnols n’a prêté serment! Le PPE en action!

Spain is not a democracy. Spanish parliament bureau suspends elected Catalan political prisoners. PSOE, PP and Ciudadanos voted in favour of the suspension of the four Catalan political prisoners, while Podemos voted against it. english.vilaweb.cat/noticies/spani…

New legislature starts in Spain's Congress with political prisoners as deputies. elnacional.cat/en/news/new-le…

Tirade of abuse against Catalan political party members on Madrid street. "Separatist shits, why do you come to the capital of Spain?" the two nationalists asked. elnacional.cat/en/politics/ti…

Spain's Constitutional Court rejects appeals to block @KRLS Puigdemont from standing as MEP. In their ruling, the Court writes that it believes there "exists no violation of any legally-protected fundamental right". elnacional.cat/en/news/spain-…

The Catalan independence movement is not behind the rise of Spain’s far right. The Spanish extreme right is fueled by a fear of true democracy, of diversity, of equal opportunities and women’s rights. By @QuimTorraiPla at @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…

Exiled president Puigdemont will run in European elections. Spain's electoral authority had banned his candidacy but a local Madrid court annuls the ban. english.vilaweb.cat/noticies/exile…

The Catalan president in exile, @KRLS Puigdemont, has argued that the presentation of a European Citizens' Initiative calling on the European Commission to set in motion disciplinary proceedings against Spain aims to "strengthen" democracy in the country. elnacional.cat/en/news/puigde…

The Spanish General election in Catalonia was a stunning victory for the Catalan Separatists, their best ever election result, achieved despite their leadership being exiled or political prisoners and despite an avalanche of MSM propaganda against them. craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/…

It's real. And it's a shame. The former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont and two of his former ministers are to be excluded from standing in next month’s European elections after Spain’s central electoral board upheld an appeal from 2 rightwing parties. theguardian.com/world/2019/apr…

Democracy? Catalan exiled president @Carleskrls Puigdemont banned from EU elections by Spain’s electoral authority. This is a flagrant violation of the fundamental human right to stand in an election. Europe, wake up! english.vilaweb.cat/noticies/catal…

Five jailed Catalan separatists were elected in Spanish elections yesterday, as their parties made gains. Free them all! business-standard.com/article/pti-st…

'The New York Times' on Spain's election: "Europe, you've got another problem". "Spain is an insular country without a foreign policy, ... , with the extreme right having woken up, and Catalonia expectant" says. Interesting article! elnacional.cat/en/politics/ne…

David Fernàndez @HiginiaRoig , former MP for the far-left CUP party: “If self-determination is a crime, I declare myself guilty and a repeat offender. And as long as it remains a crime, I’ll continue to disobey until it becomes a democratic right.”

They hate democracy. Why? They are fascists. Spanish parties Cs, PP try to prevent @krls Puigdemont standing in the European election. elnacional.cat/en/news/cs-pp-…

Is the Catalan separatist trial in Spain about law or politics? The trial that has divided Spain is taking place in a courtroom that is classic Spanish baroque, with marble columns and ornate flourishes. A @washingtonpost article. washingtonpost.com/world/europe/i…

President @QuimTorraiPla, in Sant Jordi's statement: "We ask for the involvement of Europe and the international community to resolve the [Catalan] conflict in a democratic way. Political trials cannot be tolerated". Wake up, Europe! via @catalannews
