Minister Félix Bolaños celebrates the agreement for the amnesty law
The Minister of Justice, Félix Bolaños, concluded his appearance in Congress with a message of relief and congratulations for the agreement reached with pro-independence forces for the amnesty law. This agreement represents a significant political victory for the PSOE after months of attrition and difficulties in a context full of noise.
The amnesty law as a turning point for dialogue and agreements
Both Minister Bolaños and representatives of Junts and ERC have defended the amnesty law as a turning point to close a stage of territorial confrontation in the State and open another one of dialogue and agreements. It is expected that this law will be an international reference and that it will mark a significant change in the resolution of the conflict.
The debate on the constitutionality of the law
Minister Bolaños has defended the constitutionality of the amnesty law, while Junts has emphasized that this law covers all the loopholes of those retaliated by the independence process. However, ERC has minimized the changes introduced in the wording of the law, considering them as cosmetic tweaks.
The details of the amnesty law
The amnesty law to be voted on by the full Congress excludes crimes classified as terrorism and amnesties embezzlement without personal enrichment and treason without the use of force. However, the judges will be in charge of interpreting and applying the law when the parliamentary procedure is completed.
The future of the legislature and the general budgets of the State
The Spanish government hopes that the Constitutional Court will not overturn the amnesty law, as this would be a key decision for the future of the legislature. In addition, Minister Bolaños has projected that there will be an agreement for the general budgets of the State, with the support of the parliamentary groups that allowed the investiture of Pedro Sánchez.
The melon of the financing negotiation and other pending issues
With the amnesty on track, the Spanish government will now focus its efforts on negotiating funding, a priority for the Government of Pere Aragonès. In addition, other compensations for Junts and the commons will be discussed in relation to the budgets of the Generalitat. Despite this, the core of the conflict has not disappeared and the political landscape is moving us further into the agenda prior to the independence process.
The role of magistrates in the interpretation of the law
The magistrates of the Supreme Court and the National Court will be in charge of interpreting and applying the amnesty law in cases related to the pro-independence process. Its interpretation will be key to the resolution of judicial conflicts and to the consolidation of dialogue and agreements.
