SPAIN AGAINST THE CATALONIA NATION -- Spain vetoes Catalan police to guard president in Brussels trip

Spain vetoes Catalan police to guard president in Brussels trip

 

 

SPAIN AGAINST THE CATALONIA NATION

'The Spanish government vetoed the Catalan police, Mossos d'Esquadra,
to guard the Catalan president, Quim Torra, in his official trip to
Brussels on Monday.

Madrid has to give permission every time a
law enforcement officer has to work abroad, and this time it was
explicitly rejected, alleging there is no "extraordinary risk" for the
officials' safety.

On Thursday,
the foreign affairs minister, Alfred Bosch, is also expected to travel
to Brussels, but Spain has also rejected allowing a guard for him during
his stay.'

' "There is a high risk that the proposed event could
pose a threat to the maintenance of public order on Parliament's
premises," said an EU statement on Friday, after a security request made
by the chamber's Spanish unionist parties to call the meeting off.'
