  • The Congress of Deputies approved the most divisive and contentious law of Pedro Sánchez's era, an amnesty oriented to Carles Puigdemont's demands.
  • This law is viewed by many as an attempt by Sánchez to secure the stability of his weak administration with the support of problematic parties.
  • Despite the amnesty law, Catalan nationalist parties stand undeterred from their independence goals.
  • The amnesty hasn't brought about the desired stability, nor assures the approval of future budgets.
  • The calling of early elections in Catalonia disrupts Sánchez's strategy and increases uncertainty.

Conclusion: This amnesty may have exacerbated political tensions rather than appease them, and has ushered an atmosphere of legislative and economic instability.
