That the Parliament notes the recent vote and decision of the European Parliament to remove the immunity status of Clara Ponsati MEP, Carlos Puigdemont MEP and Toni Comin MEP; believes the people of Catalonia and their elected representatives should be respected when exercising their democratic right to self-determination, and considers the actions of the Spanish Government during and after the Independence Referendum held on October 2017 to be a direct contravention of the principles of democracy, human rights and civil liberties.
