The law will return to the Justice Committee, where it will need to be renegotiated between the PSOE and its parliamentary partners, especially the Junts.
The Congress leadership will formalize next Tuesday the deadline that parliamentary groups will have to implement changes to the proposed amnesty law. According to parliamentary sources, this period will be fifteen days.
The law will return to the Justice Committee, where renegotiations will have to take place between the PSOE and its parliamentary partners, especially Junts, who paralyzed the processing of the law by rejecting it in plenary yesterday.
Last week, the Justice Committee adopted an opinion containing the law and the latest amendments that the Government of Spain agreed with the ERC, a text and some amendments implemented with the support of Junts.
But those of Carles Puigdemont believe that this text is not sufficient and have tried to introduce changes to “protect” themselves against what they consider maneuvers by judges to expand their investigation into aspects not covered by the amnesty, such as the terrorism that judges Manuel García Castellón appreciates in the CDR protests and the ‘Democratic Tsunami’ or the crime of ‘treason’ perceived by the judge in Barcelona investigating the alleged ‘Russian connection’ with the trial.
The PSOE’s refusal to accept new demands for fear that the Constitutional Court will revoke the amnesty has led the Junts to reject the entire proposal.
Now the procedure to be followed will be that indicated in Article 131.2 of the Congressional Regulations, that is, the legislative project will return to the Judiciary Committee so that the relevant amendments can be discussed and a new text will be submitted to the House for approval submitted. second and last chance.
The period for issuing a new advice is a maximum of one month, although it is possible that the Board can shorten the period to 15 days if it qualifies it as urgent.
In summary, the outcome of today’s vote in Congress will delay the amnesty, but allow the PSOE and the independentistas to ultimately introduce new wording changes through transactional amendments, without the need for the unanimous consent required in the plenary meeting of Congress. Congress.
