  • Politics The PSOE receives the amnesty with distrust: "Who tells you that Puigdemont will not withdraw his support now?"

The Amnesty Law gives judges two months to erase 12 years of crimes for independence

"What it cannot do is be left without defenses, what it cannot is be left without arguments," said Page, who added that they can even say it in a law, but that that seems like a "bad law when it is based on a law." premise as false as that the criminal finally demands that the country itself and the Constitution recognize themselves as a problem, as oppression."

And although there are people who believe that the things they do are for life, they can even end up making mistakes because, as he has said, "no matter how much people say it and no matter how much some people jump for joy, the prosecutions will continue." ; but that will be seen and will be seen, furthermore, I hope it will not take long."

He has advocated "defending what we have, which is a democratic system that many countries in the world do not have" because "there are radical, anti-system people, who are also not here" and who propose the opposite, to tear it down.

García-Page has pointed out that selfishness is what hides behind the independence movement, and has added: "If there is something that Spanish society does not tolerate, it is being taken for fools, and things, obviously, must be called by their name." ".

"There are many things that we can feel proud of in Spain, proud of achievements, but what I am incapable of feeling proud of is blackmail, that is extremely difficult for me," he said.

The president of Castilla-La Mancha has indicated that for him, what it means to win an election is "being able to govern in order to fulfill what you promise, because if in reality what you do is fulfill the opposite, I don't know if I would exactly call it governing." .

Page has also said that talking about red lines in Spain right now almost makes him embarrassed.

"There are some who should forget to talk about red lines forever or at least tell people that when they talk about red lines it is like roads, which are discontinuous lines that can be crossed, because if not, people have right to feel cheated," he said.

The Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Cortes, Félix Bolaños, has asked García-Page to be "patient" to see the "fruits" of the Amnesty Law, alleging that "it will happen like with pardons", of the that now "no one doubts" that they served to normalize the situation in Catalonia after the 'procés'.

Asked in an interview in La Sexta, reported by Europa Press, about the La Mancha president's criticism of the grace measure agreed upon by the PSOE with the Catalan independentists, Bolaños expressed that time needs to pass to "evaluate the amnesty law in its breadth."

"Well, I ask you to have some patience, to see how this Amnesty Law is going to bear fruit, it is going to consummate coexistence, reconciliation, harmony, which is the only way we can do it," explained the minister. insisting that in this way "the rupturist paths are over" and that now they are "in the stage of agreement and reconciliation."

In his opinion, "it will happen like with the pardons", a decision that when the PSOE adopted there were "many people with doubts" and that, finally, "today no one doubts that the pardons were useful and effective in normalizing the situation in Catalonia."

"It will more or less happen with the amnesty law, that now there are people who, in good faith, have doubts, but who will realize with the application of the law, that it is an essential tool for us to overcome a dark period and begin a new stage where concord, where reconciliation, where agreements between different people have to preside over it," he concluded.
