Catalonia’s parliament ousted its president, Laura Porras, on Monday, two days after a court decided to try the hardline separatist leader on corruption charges.

The council’s decision to remove Porras from the position of speaker as well as deputy caused tensions in the coalition governing the northeast region, and all the parties represented in the council supported this decision, with the exception of Porras’ party “Together for Catalonia”.

Porras is accused of negotiating contracts worth around 300,000 euros with a colleague while she headed the Catalan Institute of Literature, a regional body tasked with promoting the Catalan language and literature.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of Catalonia ordered her to stand trial on charges of forgery and misdemeanors, while a public prosecutor demanded six years in prison and banned her from public office for 21 years.

Porras denies these accusations, which she considers part of the “trial prosecution” persecuting the Catalan separatists, as she criticized other separatist parties that voted for her trial, noting that “practical commentary is beneficial only to those who are betting on a dirty war, but and makes “accomplices” of those who led it.
