After blocking the approval of the Amnesty Law and inflicting

Pedro Sánchez

with the toughest defeat of the legislature, Junts has warned the President of the Government that he will "breach" the investiture pact if he does not modify the rule at will to shield the independentists who are being investigated or may end up accused of terrorism or high treason, among whom are the CDR involved in Operation

Judas or

Carles Puigdemont

himself

.

«A non-agreement on the Amnesty Law shakes the foundations of the investiture agreement. If the PSOE does not move from here and does not want an armored, comprehensive and immediately applicable law, it will not be complying. He knows. "I knew that we were not bluffing," the general secretary of the party,

Jordi Turull

, warned this Wednesday, who, however, has been "convinced" that the socialists will end up giving in and the processing of the grace measure "will be resolved." ».

"The scenario we contemplate is that the law goes ahead," added the spokesperson for the separatist formation in Congress,

Míriam Nogueras

, in the same sense . Both she and Turull have modulated their threat and avoided anticipating an abrupt end to the legislature, as well as avoiding blackmailing Sánchez with the negotiation of the General State Budgets.

The conciliatory claim coincides with that issued yesterday by Puigdemont when, when arguing his

no

to the processing of the Amnesty Law, he stressed that "he values ​​the efforts made by the PSOE in a hostile context."

Yesterday the fugitive focused his attacks on the judges, and today Turull did the same, who challenged the judiciary to maintain a fight that, he predicted, they would end up losing. «The judges have been laughing in our face for two and a half months. But he who laughs last laughs best," said the number two of Junts.

Turull has assumed that, with the current wording of the amnesty law, Puigdemont or the general secretary of ERC,

Marta Rovira

, "are left out", as well as "many of the CDR, and of those accused in Tsunami and the

Volhov operation

" . "I, in particular, got in easily, but it's not that I got in, it's that everyone got in," Turull added to try to separate Junts' motivations from the obvious intention to amnesty their leader.

He has also insisted that the modification of the rule must guarantee that it does not have a "suspensive nature" so that it can be applied even if it is appealed to high judicial authorities.

The Government sees "room to negotiate"

Representing the Government, the first vice president pointed out this Wednesday that "there must always be room for negotiation when time passes and there is a clear desire for dialogue on both sides." "There are always conditions to be able to continue incorporating issues that, as we always said, had to do with technical issues," said

María Jesús Montero

in an interview on TVE.

Even so, the PSOE's also 'number two' has implied that they are still against extending the scope of the amnesty to all cases of terrorism, as Puigdemont's group demands, and has recalled that the text that covers The measure of grace for those prosecuted for 1-O "is agreed upon up to four times" with the independentists. To which he added: "What we trust is that Junts will reconsider because it is very incomprehensible that they voted [against] with the PP and with Vox, which are two political formations that have made it very clear that the only answer they have "for Catalonia it is to imprison the leaders of the 'procés' or to outlaw their parties."

The Minister of the Presidency and Justice, in turn, has insisted that the bill that reached the Plenary Session of Congress is "impeccable and in accordance with the Constitution and the law of the European Union" and that the new proposal that is submitted new has to continue meeting these requirements, although it has also shown itself willing to "speak" given the "importance" of its approval. "It is much more than a rule: it aims to close wounds and judicial processes and it does not go against anyone, what it aims to do is improve coexistence," stressed

Félix Bolaños

.

In an interview on

Cadena Ser

, asked about the impact that Tuesday's parliamentary setback will have on the coalition Executive, Pedro Sánchez's interlocutor in the amnesty negotiation has been blunt: "The duration of the legislature is not decided by any political group. The duration of the legislature is decided by the President of the Government and that is why we will be governing for three and a half years.
