Spain's Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has been reelected, a victory largely attributed to a controversial amnesty deal for Catalonia's separatists. The agreement, which Sánchez accepted in exchange for their support, has sparked significant backlash across the country, with approximately 170,000 people marching in Madrid in protest. The demonstration, organized by right-wing leaders, saw protesters of all ages carrying Spanish and other European flags.
The amnesty deal is set to clear legal troubles for hundreds of Catalan separatists following the region's illegal 2017 secession bid. Additionally, the agreements with the Catalan parties include talks on the possibility of holding an authorized referendum for independence for the region, within the legal framework of Spain's Constitution. This would mark the largest amnesty in Spain since 1977 and the first amnesty law approved in the EU since 1991.
However, the law has been met with opposition from various sectors. Four judicial associations, opposition political parties, and business leaders have voiced their concerns, arguing that it threatens the rule of law and the separation of powers. Despite the controversy, Sánchez, who came second in the July parliamentary elections, managed to secure his position after negotiating support from regionalist groups, including Catalan pro-independence parties.
