Borràs has always denied the accusations and has come to allude to an alleged persecution for being an independentist.

the supreme court ordered the TSJC to repeat the trial of the former members of the Parliamentary Bureau, in the time of Carmen Forcadellwhom he condemned for disobedience for allowing the processing of the laws that constituted the legal scaffolding of the ‘procés’.
