Bateragune defendants will file appeals to the Constitutional Court and in Europe
- Iñigo Iruin explained at a press conference the reading of the last judgment of the Supreme Court and the legal response given to him by the accused, as well as the five accused. Moreover, he has predicted that it will be a "long" process and that the situation will be reconsidered.
Iruin has assured that the final judgment of the Supreme Court runs counter to those given by Strasbourg and the Supreme Court itself before its judgment. He assured him that he was "surprised" by the "poor" legal quality of the judgment: “This poor legal quality is a logical consequence of the difficulty of maintaining a legally unsustainable position.”
The lawyer has announced that he will go to the Spanish Constitutional Court and the Council of Ministers of the European Commission in defence of the defendants in the Bateragune case. From there, more initiatives are planned, but it has not given more details about them. The defendants shall lodge an application for amparo before the Constitutional Court (TC). The main argument will be that a basic legal principle has been violated: the impossibility of being tried twice for the same offence. Iruin takes the view that the Constitutional Court will administer the appeal and urge the House not to hold a trial until its appeal is resolved.
At European level, the appeal shall be lodged with the Council of Ministers of the European Commission (EC). The Council of Ministers is examining whether the Member States are carrying out the Strasbourg judgments against them. Iruin admitted that this framework has a clear "political" character, but he explained that after that he can call back at the door of Strasbourg.
