The European Parliament has this afternoon prevented former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont and former minister Toni Comín from collecting their credentials as MEPs after Sunday's election.
On Twitter, Puigdemont wrote: "The European Parliament's secretary
general has given instructions that neither Toni Comín, Oriol Junqueras
nor myself can go through any formalities as MEPs. No legal reason. Pure
discrimination. All the other MEPs-elect have been able to do the
processes they've blocked us from. Disgraceful!".
