The new wording of the amnesty law returns to Congress

The Congressional Justice Committee should vote on the new wording of the amnesty law on Thursday so that it returns to the plenary session. After Junts voted against the law in the plenary session of Congress on January 30, the rule returns to the forefront this week. The deadline for approving the new wording is March 7, after the PSOE requested an extension for a period that initially expired on February 21

Negotiations between PSOE and Junts

The negotiations between the Socialists and Junts are kept secret, but there are some signs of progress. The leader of the commons, Jaume Asens, has affirmed that the understanding between the PSOE and Junts is imminent and that an intermediate point has been found. This statement has generated controversy and received criticism from Jordi Turull, a member of Junts. Nevertheless, Asens has reiterated its conviction that with the new wording of the law, those charged with Democratic Tsunami will be better protected

The role of Carles Puigdemont

Carles Puigdemont has taken amnesty for granted in an act of presentation of endorsements to be the candidate of the Commons in the European elections. He spoke of a new stage in which the fight against repression will not be at the center and the formations should concentrate their efforts on the independence of Catalonia. This intervention marks a turning point in the rhetoric of Junts, which until now defended a more robust law

Judicial complications

Since the previous attempt to pass the amnesty law, there have been judicial complications with the opening of a terrorism case against Puigdemont and Wagensberg. However, the Spanish government and ERC hope that this situation will not interfere with the approval of the law, and have urged that it be approved as soon as possible

The new wording of the amnesty law returns to Congress

After Junts voted against the amnesty law in the full Congress on January 30, the rule is being debated again this week. The House Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on the new wording of the law on Thursday. The deadline for approving the new wording is March 7, after the PSOE asked for an extension.

Negotiations between PSOE and Junts

The negotiations between the PSOE and Junts are kept secret, but there are signs that an agreement is being reached. Jaume Asens, leader of the commons and negotiator of Sumar, has affirmed that the understanding between the PSOE and Junts is imminent and that an intermediate point has been found. This statement has generated controversy and received criticism from Jordi Turull de Junts.

The position of Junts and its changes

Together they voted against the amnesty law at the end of January because they wanted to amend the wording to include cases of reprisals accused of terrorism or treason. However, Jaume Asens has stated that the PSOE will not vote against Junts’ amendments and that Junts will not vote against the law. This indicates that the starting positions have been relaxed and an intermediate point has been found.

The role of Carles Puigdemont

Carles Puigdemont has taken the amnesty for granted in an intervention in the territorial assembly of the Council of the Republic. This intervention marks a turning point in Junts’ rhetoric, which now advocates that the rule be more robust. However, the judicial landscape has been complicated by the opening of the terrorism case against Puigdemont and Ruben Wagensberg by the Supreme Court.

conclusion

The new wording of the amnesty law is being debated in Congress and negotiations between the PSOE and Junts seem to be making progress. However, the judicial landscape may complicate its approval. We will have to wait and see how this situation develops.
