Initiated by the socialist government of Pedro Sanchez to obtain the support of separatists, the measure was adopted by 178 votes to 172 while awaiting a vote in the Senate.


Spanish deputies voted Thursday for an amnesty law for Catalan separatists convicted or prosecuted for the aborted 2017 secession attempt in Catalonia (north-eastern region of the country), a key measure for socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

Negotiated by the Socialist Party of Pedro Sánchez with the two Catalan independence parties, the measure was adopted by 178 votes to 172. It must now be submitted to the Senate, controlled by the right, fiercely opposed to this measure and which has promised to delay his examination as much as possible.

More information to come.
