 Spain calls Judge Santiago Vidal to testify on draft Catalan constitution 

 

They've asked the Superior Court of Catalonia and the Barcelona court to clarify if the magistrate asked for authorization

 

The General Council on Judicial Power has opened an investigation
into Judge Santiago Vidal due to the judge's participation in the
creation of a draft constitution for an independent Catalonia. The CGPJ
called him to testify on May 19 and asked the presidents of the Superior
Court of Justice in Catalonia and the Barcelona Court to declare
whether Vidal had asked for authorization or if he had communicated to
them that he would be working on the project.

The magistrate
explained publicly that he has begun work on editing a draft of a
constitution for Catalonia together with ten other judges, community
representatives, academics, lawyers, and sovereignty groups.

The Spokesperson for the Catalan Government, Francesc Homs, said that
he had no knowledge of this draft magna carta and underscored that the
Catalan executive respects all of the initiatives that are undertaken in
the community.
