There have been no surprises and the investiture bloc approved the rule with an absolute majority (177 votes). The debate was sometimes short and heated, with numerous calls to Vox by the Speaker of the House. The law will not be immediately published in the BOE.

With the approval of the absolute majority of the Congress of Deputies, the The amnesty law has been finally approved This Thursday. At least 176 investiture bloc votes were needed to override the Senate veto, and the vote passed without surprises. PSOE, Sumar, Junts, ERC, EH Bildu, PNV and BNG have had their votes counted (177) and for twelve years have given final support to the rule that erases all criminal, administrative and accounting responsibility of people involved in the ‘trials’. As on the previous occasion, the right (PP, Vox, UPN and CC, 172 votes) voted against.
The law No HE will be immediately published in the BOE, as was speculated, and will therefore not come into effect in the coming days. Once approved, the rule must be published in the Official Gazette of the Cortes and ratified by the King, who will be absent until Sunday. It is therefore assumed that its publication will take place within a maximum of 15 days, so that it could end up in the last part of the campaign for the European elections on June 9, or shortly afterwards. Once published, yes, will come into effect the same day.
The vote, both nominal and by call, put an end to a monographic plenary session, which was short – seven minutes per spokesperson – and stretched, especially now that the representative of the PSOE, Artemi Rallo, has taken the floor. There has also been a fight between Sumar and Vox representatives, who have exchanged accusations, shouts and even insults. The president of the Congress, Francina Armengol, has had to call several deputies to order and has denounced “the spectacle” and “bad manners” on the part of the House. Moreover, during the vote there were cries of ‘resignation’ and ‘traitors’ among members of the Spanish government.
