The government's willingness to grant pardons to the leaders would not only mean to ignore the reports against the

Prosecutor's Office

and the Supreme Court, but it would also mean internally removing the PSOE.

Although the socialist leadership closes ranks with the purpose of Pedro Sánchez and great dissonances are not expected, there are sectors in the party that reject the grace measure.

Emiliano García-Page, president of Castilla-La Mancha, is one of those who voices this unease.

The regional leader is one of the first to raise his voice publicly to express his opposition.

It disgusts Pedro Sánchez who opens the door to pardon when the pro-independence leaders show no regret and even warn that they would do the same again.

"It would be a serious error of democracy if it occurs."

The Castilian-La Mancha baron, who reminded Sánchez that he arrived in La Moncloa after a "brutal sentence" against the PP that has the same "legitimacy" as that of the procés, has warned that the "unjustified pardon" of someone who " insists on doing the same "could become a" condemnation for those who make the decision or the organization that supports it, "alluding to the Government and the PSOE.

An aspect that particularly worries Page and other barons such as Javier Lambán, president of Aragon.

"The most serious thing of all is that those affected, those who knowingly and conscientiously perverted, deliberately, the constitutional order, insist today that they would do it again, insist on repeating."

This is the fear that has been installed in socialist sectors. The political toll that will have to be paid for this measure. In La Moncloa they believe that in a horizon without electoral appointments, the erosion and wear of the decision should not have an impact on the next electoral cycles. But in the regions, where among other things is at stake who can drag the electorate of Ciuddanos, the government's strategy worries.

Page, who received the first dose of the Covid vaccine on Thursday, has condemned that the Government indicates that the pardons have "a political approach." “The pardons should never be of origin or of political purpose. Directly and without taboos, he has expressed that he wishes "with all my soul and from my deepest convictions" that the decision not to be made to pardon the Catalan independentists. He believes that this "political approach" is what contains the danger of being seen as a "cession" or consideration to the independentistas.

According to the Castilian-La Mancha president, a favorable decision on pardons “would not help to focus on the problem of Catalonia.

What's more, it has a good chance of being sterile. '

And, with the jab of the recently put vaccine, he declared: "A measure of grace that I do not like at all."
