BARCELONA - The wife of jailed Catalan separatist leader Raul Romeva says she is hopeful he will be acquitted in the trial over the Spanish region’s banned independence bid, and called for an amnesty if the verdict goes against him.
Spain’s Supreme Court is expected to announce its verdict on Monday on the role of 12 separatist leaders in Catalonia’s referendum and short-lived independence declaration in October 2017, which triggered Spain’s biggest political crisis in decades. She is a European Parliament lawmaker for the left-wing Catalan separatist party Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya .
The verdict is likely to have a big impact on Spanish politics and could trigger widespread protests in Catalonia if the leaders are found guilty.
