The symbol of the yellow ribbon and political propaganda
Pau Juvillà, former councilor of Lleida for the CUP, has considered the process against him for the yellow ribbons as **Kafkaesque**. In an interview on the program “Més 3/24”, Juvillà questioned whether the symbol of the yellow ribbon can be considered political propaganda, stating that this symbol can be identified by people of **diverse ideology**. In addition, he has criticized that he was accused of not being impartial during the electoral campaign, even though the CUP did not appear in these elections.
The appeal to the Constitutional Court and European justice
Pau Juvillà has announced that he will appeal the sentence to the Constitutional Court, with the hope of reaching European justice. According to Juvillà, European justice is a space where a certain recognition can be obtained. Thus, he seeks to fight against the disqualification sentence he has received for disobedience.
Uncertainty about compliance with the sentence
Pau Juvillà has expressed his uncertainty about whether or not he has fulfilled the sentence. On the one hand, more time has passed than the sentence itself indicates since he was withdrawn as a member of the Parliament of Catalonia. On the other hand, there is no clarity on when the time of the sentence begins to count, since none of the courts that have reviewed it clearly specifies this.
The intention to “make repression” and “collective punishment” invisible
According to Pau Juvillà, the order to remove the yellow ribbons was aimed at “making the repression invisible”. In addition, he considers that this action seeks to apply a “collective punishment” to the pro-independence movement.
