Madrid. El Tribunal Supremo español se negó este jueves a reconocer como eurodiputado al independentista catalán Oriol Junqueras debido a su condena a 13 años de cárcel e inhabilitación para ejercer cargos públicos por el intento de secesión de Cataluña en 2017.

En consecuencia, los magistrados descartaron liberarlo para que asuma sus funciones como parlamentario europeo como solicitaba su defensa después de un fallo favorable de la justicia europea, el 19 de diciembre.
