Toni Comín, after swearing the Constitution in Congress: "This right to complain confirms our victory"

Toni Comín, a former Catalan official, swore allegiance to the Spanish Constitution to officially become an MEP after benefiting from an amnesty law. He dismissed the formal act as a sign of Spain's defeat, claiming it confirms their victory. Comín, who fled Spain nine years ago, emphasized his return to Spain was voluntary and without legal repercussions. He plans to return to Catalonia soon, symbolically walking from France. His statements in Congress, made before the electoral period, linked his situation to the broader independence movement, asserting that the Spanish state acknowledges their success. Comín intends to reside in Belgium after receiving his MEP credentials.
