European Parliament president gets prize from unionist group

The president of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, was awarded a prize from a unionist civil society group in Catalonia, Catalan Civil Society (SCC).

SCC has positioned itself as frontally rejecting the idea that there are political prisoners in Spain, and is also strongly opposed to independence. Giving him the award of ‘Wisdom’ were president of the organization José Rosiñol and vice president Miriam Tey.

The two traveled to Strasbourg to express their gratitude with his support for Spain’s unity. Tajani, for his part, stated that it was “an honor” to receive the prize.
