Congress approves the amnesty law by 178 votes in favor and 172 against. The norm will now go to the Senate where, predictably, it will be rejected by the absolute majority of the PP.
Junts spokesperson, Míriam Nogueras, stated after the vote: “It is not a final point. We continue. The goal remains independence” The session, attended by the leader of ERC, Oriol Junqueras, takes place just one day after the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, brought forward the elections in Catalonia.
