[5] One of her great-grandfathers on her father's side, Jaume Rivera Camps, was the mayor of Prats de Lluçanès between 1939 and 1941.

[12] Rovira stands for republicanism as a model that considers the general interest and the common good, equal opportunities, transparency and zero corruption.

[14] On 22 December 2017, she was charged by the Spanish Supreme Court for an alleged crime of rebellion for her participation during the organisation of the referendum on self-determination on 1 October 2017.

On 22 March 2018, after the failed vote for the investiture of Jordi Turull as president of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Rovira resigned, along with Carme Forcadell and Dolors Bassa, from her seat as a member of Parliament.

[16] The following day, she decided not to appear before the Supreme Court, claiming that she did not have enough judicial guarantees, and went into exile in Switzerland,[4] where she currently lives.

[17] On the same day, 23 March 2018, judge Pablo Llarena activated a European and international arrest warrant and an extradition request against Rovira, in addition to those reactivated against Carles Puigdemont, Antoni Comín, Lluís Puig, Meritxell Serret and Clara Ponsatí.

On 19 July 2018, in view of the decision of the German judiciary against the surrender of Carles Puigdemont for the crime of rebellion, Llarena withdrew all European and international arrest warrants issued, including Rovira's.
