Editorial: El Español

• The PSOE has tried to justify the Amnesty Law by saying that it will definitively resolve the Spanish territorial conflict.
• As time goes by, this decision seems to be increasingly unpopular among the majority of Spaniards, appearing to be a favourable treatment to the separatists.
• Polls show that there has been an increase in opposition to this amnesty among citizens.
• The opposition to the Amnesty Law among socialist voters has also increased, invalidating the idea that the PSOE has managed to convince its base.
• An increasingly large percentage of citizens support that parties that call for an illegal self-determination referendum be penalized with prison and be banned.

Conclusion: The attempt to justify the Amnesty Law has failed to convince the majority of Spanish citizens and has generated a growth in opposition to the law, even among PSOE voters.
