Óscar Puente defends the amnesty to take “work” away from justice. “Let's save ourselves the effort of trying them and then pardoning them” The minister supports the option of granting pardon to the leaders of the 'procés' who are outside the umbrella of the amnesty.

The amnesty law has the support of the majority of Congress - PSOE, ERC, Sumar, Podemos, PNV, Bildu and the BNG support it.
