MADRID — “The Joventut Nacionalista de Catalunya (JNC), a youth-based political group linked to Junts, has hung a banner showing an enormous face of Carles Puigdemont on a bridge in the Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid, right next to the Puerta d’Europa, the well-known inclined towers in the Spanish capital,” said El Nacional En.
“We persist, and we will win”, is the slogan written on the pro-independence group’s banner, which greeted Madrileños on Friday morning, together with the face of the former president, who was recently returned to the center of political and media attention by the European General Court’s rulings that confirm the withdrawal of his immunity as a member of the European Parliament, which until now has given him some protection from the arrest warrants issued by Spanish judge Pablo Llarena.
