Barcelona. Los partidos independentistas catalanes pidieron este jueves la “liberación” de Oriol Junqueras, uno de sus líderes preso en España, después que la justicia europea infligiera un revés a la española sobre su inmunidad como eurodiputado.

El Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea (TJUE) estimó que Junqueras, que fue condenado en octubre, contaba con inmunidad como eurodiputado electo, en una sentencia que podría abrir la puerta de la Eurocámara al expresidente catalán Carles Puigdemont.
