Politics Sánchez assumes new changes in the Amnesty Law to give more guarantees to Puigdemont
Congreso Junts already slips that it will support the Budgets after agreeing with the PSOE on the Amnesty law
The Government of Pedro Sánchez and Junts per Catalunya are currently finalizing the negotiation to retouch the Amnesty Law.
Carles Puigdemont
's party
is demanding that the text include the erasure of all terrorism crimes, an extreme that is causing friction between both parties until the last moment, taking the negotiation to the limit.
According to sources familiar with the conversations, the only thing missing is for the PSOE to accept the latest version proposed by Junts for a total shield on terrorism that prevents judges from excluding Carles Puigdemont and the rest of those investigated for these crimes from the amnesty. .
This demand has become a priority after the recent decision of the Supreme Court to open a case against the former Catalan president for the
Tsunami Democràtic case
.
The same sources specify that there is already a consensus on the section corresponding to the crime of treason, which has also become a stumbling block after Judge
Joaquín Aguirre
reactivated the investigation into the Russian plot of the
process
.
The text they are working on "is joint and compromised", as the same sources explain to this newspaper and refers to an amendment presented by Junts per Catalunya.
Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) is also taking part in the negotiation and although this formation was not in favor of touching the text, it has ended up agreeing to include what will be presented as "technical issues."
While the last issues are being resolved, Moncloa hopes to be able to announce the final agreement tonight.
For its part, Puigdemont's team insists that there will be no Amnesty Law if they do not rewrite the wording of the crimes of terrorism and treason, presenting this point as "absolutely non-negotiable."
