In the early months of the Commission of prisons politicians was transferred after the verdict in the fall of 2019, proposed to change the mode from the second to the third. Only in the prison system of Spain there are four modes of punishment. The first is the most severe, involving the maximum limit of freedom. The second – normal. The third has many varieties. Prisoners may be allowed to go home for the weekend, to provide holiday or even let go and ordered to wear a tracking anklet. A fourth mode allows the condemned to lead a virtually normal life, just regularly marked in law enforcement (so-called conditional freedom). By law, conditions of detention should be reviewed every six months.
the Situation with the Catalan politicians have developed quite interesting. Formally, they are serving a sentence in the second mode, however, in late February – early March, they’ve already had the opportunity to leave the prison walls to work as volunteers in different institutions. However, all this quickly came to an end after the country introduced the quarantine pandemic coronavirus. But after almost all restrictions were lifted (in Madrid and Barcelona it happened just at the beginning of July), the Commission put forward its proposal to give the politicians even more freedoms. Generalitat it took only two weeks of the allotted two months to give its nod. With the consent of the government of Catalonia argued “low-risk of recurrence”.
But the latter is already in question. One of the convicts Jordi Caesar has already said that the Spanish authorities should be afraid of them, because they will do it as many times as needed.
arrive by car directly at Oriola, Jordi Turula, Raul Romeva and other politicians, which in Catalonia is considered by many heroes who have suffered undeserved punishment, at the usual time on release from prison have met hundreds of followers-nationalists. However, this time everything went quiet due to the outbreak of coronavirus. Authorities in the region on Friday asked the people of Barcelona and a number of municipalities this weekend, not to leave their homes to reduce the risk of infection. At the same time citizens call within the next two weeks to move to their second homes outside their home city (many Spaniards have property on the coast, where people come only in the warm season).
