Former Catalan parliament speaker freed on bail
By EUobserver
Carme Forcadell, the former speaker of the Catalan parliament, was released on Friday after the payment of a €150,000 bail. She was put in custody on Thursday after a hearing with a judge in Madrid. She is charged with rebellion over the adoption of Catalonia's declaration of independence by the regional parliament on 27 September. Eight former ministers are in jail for the same reason.
