Overview

• Lawmakers approved a Junts-sponsored resolution asserting judicial persecution of the independence movement and describing the amnesty as a form of reparation.
• The measure passed with 65 votes from Junts, ERC, Comuns and CUP, 42 abstentions from the PSC, and 28 votes against from PP, Vox and Aliança.
• A separate Junts proposal to put a self-determination referendum with an international mediator on the negotiation table was opposed by the PSC.
• The resolution criticizes Supreme Court magistrates’ refusal to apply parts of the amnesty, saying it undermines Spain’s rule of law and institutional credibility.
• Junts tied the votes to broader demands drawn from the 2023 Brussels accord, pressing for transfers such as Social Security and Rodalies and warning it will decide this autumn whether to keep backing Sánchez.
