The court number 8 of the Instruction Section of the Palma Court of Instance has declared the nullity of the proceedings related to the appeal in the framework of the complaint filed by Jorge Campos against the former President of the Parliament of the Balearic Islands, Baltasar Picornell. The magistrate considers that during the processing of the appeal, the legally established procedure was not respected, a fact that caused defenselessness to the parties.

The defense for Balti Picornell filed an appeal this Wednesday against the interlocutory order of September 16th, which agreed to continue the case opened against the former Speaker of the Parliament, Balti Picornell, through the abbreviated procedure following the complaint filed by the Vox deputy in Congress, Jorge Campos. The defense, led by Acció Cassandra, asks the Provincial Court of Palma to revoke the resolution and agree to the dismissal of the proceedings, after the Prosecutor's Office had previously requested the provisional archiving of the case.

The former president of the Parliament, Balti Picornell, has appealed to the Provincial Court the admission of the criminal complaint for alleged defamation filed by Vox deputy in Congress Jorge Campos and did not testify this Tuesday before the courts on Avinguda d'Alemanya.

Baltasar Picornell Lladó, better known as Balti Picornell, was the second president of the Parliament of the Balearic Islands in the ninth legislature, after Xelo Huertas had to leave this position after having caused a considerable mess. Both Huertas and Picornell were presidents of the Parliament for Podem, which in that legislature (the first with Francina Armengol as president of the Government of the Balearic Islands) was a governing partner along with the PSOE and MÉS. Podem found it appropriate to appoint people for this position who, according to them, represented the people, in opposition to the more usual profiles of the political 'caste' (it was the time when from Podem they spoke a lot about and against 'the caste'). Picornell was ideal: when he took office, in February 2017, he was not yet forty years old, he worked as a metal carpenter, and he had long hair down to his upper back. From the PP and its allied media, he was received with contempt and condescension: they caricatured him to exhaustion and dedicated all sorts of epithets to him, with that vigorous insulting wit that the right wing usually exhibits. 

The statement of the former president of the Parliament of the Balearic Islands, Baltasar Picornell, as investigated in the case initiated by Jorge Campos, did not take place this Thursday at the Palma courts. The summons was suspended after his defense reported that neither Picornell nor his lawyer had had access to the content of the complaint before the hearing.

The statement of the former president of the Parliament Balti Picornell, who had been summoned as investigated in the case promoted by Vox leader Jorge Campos, was suspended this Thursday in the Palma courts after his defense alleged defects in the notification of the procedure.

A judge in Palma has summoned the former president of the Parliament, Baltasar Picornell, to testify as an investigated party, following a lawsuit filed by Vox deputy in Congress, Jorge Campos, after he referred to him as a "Nazi whore". Picornell himself reported the judicial summons on social media. The appearance is scheduled for June 11 at section of instruction number 8 of the Court of Instance of Palma.
