Marta Pascal, PDeCAT's general coordinator, leaves Spain's Supreme Court as she entered: under investigation but without precautionary measures, unlike Marta Rovira, who is free but will have to post bail.
Pascal said that the declaration of the Catalan republic on 27th October last year was a "symbolic act", without any legal effect. She admitted to having held meetings with president Puigdemont and the ministers in exile in Brussels, according to sources present during her testimony.
She responded to all parties who had questions for her. The judge asked Pascal, unlike Rovira, no questions.
Pascal didn't remember some of the meetings she took part in outside of the Parliament nor some of her public statements before the unilateral declaration of independence.
The court asked her to condemn the violence on 20th September in front of the Catalan Economy ministry, to which she responded by talking about violence in general, saying it "disgusts" her.
During her testimony, Pascal admitted that the Constitutional Court had suspended last year's referendum and denied having knowledge of or participating in any strategic committee or that she knew of the Enfocats documents before learning of its existence when it was revealed during the legal investigation.
No accusation party asked for precautionary measures. As such no hearing was held and there will be no written order from the judge.
Arrival
Marta Pascal arrived at the Supreme Court shortly after half ten this morning. She was summonsed for 11am, but Marta Rovira's testimony took longer than planned and so Pascal eventually started an hour and a half late.
PDeCAT's general coordinator entered the court building accompanied by her lawyer, Jorge Navarro, from the same chambers as Jordi Pina, Jordi Sànchez's lawyer.
Pascal's name doesn't appear in any report on the independence "road map", but her job title does. It appears in Enfocats, the document which has caught up the senior leadership of the pro-independence parties.
Her stance in recent months, after receiving the notification she was under investigation, has been one of prudence. She has spoken little and, when she's done so, it's been to confirm that they will do nothing illegal.
