I exclude independence, but not great autonomy at all, even if now it is one of the regions with the broadest powers and competencies not only in Spain, but throughout the world,

I do not know what judicial activity will take place from now until December December 21. If he is not put in prison by this time, I think he is not deprived of the right (to participate in elections),
