Catalonia removed separatist symbols on public buildings on Friday ahead of general elections in Spain slated for April 28.
The act came after the chief prosecutor opened investigation against Catalonia’s President Quim Tora after he rejected to obey instructions by Spain’s Central Electoral Board two times to remove separatist symbols on public buildings.
Torra ignored instructions by election officials for 11 days citing “freedom of speech”.
The president ordered to remove the banners supporting Catalan politicians who stood trial for separatist attempts or escaped abroad from the buildings in the autonomous Catalonia administration.
