President Torra will not attend Constitution event

Cata­lan pres­i­dent, Quim Torra, will not at­tend the event cel­e­brat­ing the 40th an­niver­sary of the Span­ish Con­sti­tu­tion on De­cem­ber 6. Ar­gu­ing that the con­sti­tu­tion has be­come “a prison for Cata­lans’ free­dom of speech and their ca­pac­ity to de­cide,” he an­nounced his in­ten­tion to stay away from the events in a let­ter to the speaker of the Span­ish par­lia­ment. Ac­cord­ing to Torra, the state is in­ter­pret­ing the 1978 con­sti­tu­tion in a “re­stric­tive, closed-minded” way that “per­pet­u­ates in­jus­tice.”
