  • The Supreme Court has opened a case against former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont for his connection with Tsunami, who is accused of terrorism. This complicates the amnesty law in the EU.
  • The decision discredits the arguments of the deputy prosecutor, María Ángeles Sánchez Conde, and puts Pedro Sánchez in a difficult situation to defend.
  • Junts is going to use the Supreme Court’s decision as evidence to reinforce that the inclusion of any type of terrorism in the amnesty law is necessary.
  • The EU requires the pursuit of terrorism offenses, which inhibits any amnesty possibility for these crimes.
  • An amnesty law that includes any type of offense could result in a legal and political conflict in Europe.
  • If the law is limited to the offenses in the initial draft, it would be difficult for Junts to accept it without severe electoral repercussions.

Conclusion: Given these options, Pedro Sanchez has to either accept Junts' proposal or abandon it, risking the termination of an already weakened legislature.
