The motion

That the Parliament is appalled at the charging and sentencing of Catalan elected representatives and independence activists of sedition and misuse of public funds by the Spanish Government as a result of them holding and participating in an independence referendum across Catalonia on 1 October 2017; believes that the actions of the Spanish Government and its judicial system against these representatives and activists violates the democratic process, and further believes that the international community should condemn this action and call on the Spanish Government to acknowledge the right of self-determination by the people of Catalonia.
