Illa appeals the case file against Alvise Pérez for the false covid test

Salvador Illa, president of the Generalitat, is appealing the Supreme Court's decision to dismiss the case against Alvise Pérez for sharing a false COVID PCR test. Illa aims to ensure accountability on social media, stating it should not be a space for impunity. The Supreme Court ruled that there was insufficient evidence to proceed with charges of forgery and defamation against Pérez, who is now an MEP. The judge noted that while the criminal route was not appropriate, Illa retains the right to defend his honor through civil actions. The false claim impacted Illa's 2021 electoral campaign, as opponents questioned his credibility during debates.
