  • PSOE and Junts are negotiating an amnesty law which seems stuck due to the insistence of independence on 'shielding the law'.
  • Junts has shown its strength against PSOE by processing a Popular Legislative Initiative for a unilateral declaration of independence.
  • The PSOE opposes amendments that would include terrorism and treason in the amnesty.
  • Junts insists that independence of Catalonia is the only viable alternative and dismisses any federal attempt.
  • PSOE is unwilling to accept that Junts has no interest in 'turning the page'.
  • The possibility of a new debate about independence in the Parlament recalls the scenario of 2017.
  • Despite having an unfavorable report on its unconstitutionality, an independent initiative has been admitted to processing.

Conclusion: The challenge of Junts towards the PSOE and their attempts to achieve Catalonia's unilateral independence are generating a tense political environment similar to 2017.
