Editorial: El País

  • The amnesty law proposition is under debate due to the negative vote from Junts, PP and Vox.
  • Junts demands an amnesty that does not consider exceptions in matters of terrorism.
  • The Amnesty Law needs the necessary political support in the Cortes and also needs to meet technical requirements.
  • Pedro Sánchez's government is defending an amnesty focused on the benefits for coexistence.
  • The viability of an amnesty must balance with a firm determination to clearly identify the negotiation limits without compromising its feasibility.
  • It is logical for the Government to remain firm on the current wording of the Amnesty Law.
  • The legal system allows any doubt to be channeled through control mechanisms that analyse the existence of indications or actions contrary to law.

Conclusion: The margin of negotiation for the Government appears exhausted and the entry into force of a norm that will benefit hundreds of people should not be compromised by the specific situation of one individual.
