Ten experts are working on a Constitution for the Catalan Republic
Confirmed by Judge Santi Vidal, the group's spokesperson · He says it's not an official assignment
Judge Santi Vidal confirmed today in an interview with Matí de
Catalunya that he forms part of a work group that at this time is
working on a preliminary draft of a constitution for a future Catalan
republic. Vidal explained that this draft is a private initiative of the
group, thereby clearing up misinformation published yesterday by the
daily El Mundo, in which it was said that the draft was a project
initiated by some members of parliament. "We are not working for any
official in the Generalitat or in the Parliament; there are a few
members of Parliament from parties like CiU, ERC, CUP and ICV, as well
as groups like the ANC, Catalunya Sí, and Procés Constituent who are
aware of the project and we hope that they will approve of it when we
show it to them."
Vidal explained that in the working group
there are active judges, university professors and lawyers specialized
in constitutional law. "We are writing an entire Constitution, we've
divvied up the text, I'm in charge of the chapter related to judicial
power," he said, noting that it will be a short document with less than
one hundred articles.
