"Declaring through an interpreter launders a Spanish justice that
denies me a full trial in Catalan," says.
The president of Òmnium Cultural, Jordi
Cuixart, has requested that the trial of the sovereignty process and the
referendum of October 1 – to be held in the Supreme Court (TS) in Madrid - be
held in Catalonia so that it is developed entirely in Catalan.
In a statement on Saturday, the entity has reported
that Cuixart - in custody in the prison of Lledoners
(Barcelona) - has considered that the trial violates his linguistic rights, and
has criticized: "Just declaring through an interpreter launders a Spanish justice that denies me a judgment fully
in Catalan".
Òmnium has indicated that this circumstance can
"harm the defense because literality and nuances are lost, and involves laying a screen between the declarant and the court, whether a defendant, a
testimony or an expert."
And it has assured that "the summary of the
case includes hundreds of hours of recordings
and documents in Catalan that the
Supreme Court is unable to understand", so the entity believes that, in
order to respect the European Charter of Regional and Minority Languages, the
trial would have to be done in Catalonia.
Cuixart has affirmed that keeping to the contrary
demonstrates "the null sensitivity and respect of the Spanish State for
the languages that coexist in its
territory", and in his view it is evident that he will have a trial
without guarantees.
In addition, he has stated that he wants to declare
without filters and has indicated: "We will not allow for one more
manipulation. We will demonstrate loudly that we have not committed any crime
and that they have invented the violence they accuse us of".
