That the Parliament extends its solidarity to the members of the Parliament of Catalonia’s bureau members who were recently convicted of disobedience and banned from public office for 20-months, with four also being fined 30,000 euros each; believes that these convictions were based on their decision to allow debates and votes to take place in the parliament on matters regarding self-determination and independence, considers that this sets a dangerous precedent  by preventing parliamentarians from even discussing subjects deemed "unacceptable" by the Spanish courts; believes that the right of elected politicians to debate and discuss any and all matters relevant to the people that they represent is vital to democracy, and considers that this judgment undermines that right.
