Government Pedro Sánchez suggests that it will pardon the prisoners of 1-O: "Revenge is not in the constitutional values"
Report The Supreme Court warns Pedro Sánchez that pardoning the 1-O prisoners would be "an unacceptable solution"
United We Can has consummated its unchecking of the PSOE and has aligned itself with the separatism in Congress to demand that the prisoners talk about the "amnesty" at the dialogue table between the Government and the Generalitat of Catalonia. The purple ones have voted in favor of a motion of the CUP that thus raised it, while the Socialists have positioned themselves against it. This divergence cracks the internal unity of the Government to face the independence challenge because it lays bare the discrepancies in approach between the two coalition partners.
Likewise, the vote has come in a very convulsive context for the Government itself. Well, it has coincided in full controversy over the acceleration given by Pedro Sánchez in his intention to grant pardons to the leaders of the
procés
and it has occurred a day after the Supreme Court expressed in a resounding way its rejection of that measure of grace.
The text that has been voted on this Thursday in Congress was agreed last Tuesday by the CUP and United We Can, after both parties reached an agreement to, through a transactional amendment, reformulate the text to lower the initial tone. In this way, a wording was left in which the Government is literally urged to present a "solution proposal" in which "the referendum on self-determination and amnesty will not be excluded, among other things."
This motion, a consequence of the interpellation that the CUP had made to the Minister of Territorial Policy, Miquel Iceta, last week, has received a resounding no from Congress. PSOE, PP, Vox and Ciudadanos, among others, have voted against. While the separatist parties and United We Can have voted in favor. In summary, 272 noes, 71 yeses and one abstention and the image of two the two parties that support the Government voting in the opposite way on a highly sensitive issue for the State.
In the parliamentary debate held last Tuesday, Jaume Asens, from United We Can, defended that the dialogue table should be able to talk about all issues, including amnesty, and denounced a "censorship" and a "gag on parliamentarism" that the Table Congress opposes the processing of an amnesty law considering it unconstitutional.
Just yesterday, the Supreme Court somehow touched on the amnesty, without going into the merits, to remember that this type of measure is justified in political moments of transition "from a totalitarian system to a democratic regime."
"The rejection of the pardon has as a point of contrast the acceptance, without nuances, of the amnesty. The first is presented as an institution that would adulterate the dignity of those who benefit from its scope, while the amnesty would have a soothing effect that would project its healthy effects, not only in the criminal process already resolved, but 'in the resolution of the political conflict' ", says the High Court.
"As is logical, the Chamber cannot identify itself with such a striking blurring -without precedent in the archives of the Supreme Court- of the historical and legal meaning of both forms of extinction of criminal responsibility," he concludes in his report.
