  • Junts' refusal to support the amnesty law has further strained relations and sent the text back to the Congress Justice Commission for possible reform.
  • Junts justified its conduct based on recent judicial issues and the perceived attempt to exclude Carles Puigdemont from the amnesty.
  • The other parties supporting the government maintain their support for the law, with ERC particularly highlighting that it covers over 400 accused.
  • The negotiation of amnesty continues to be essential for the legislature and the adoption of anti-crisis measures.
  • Any changes to the law must comply with constitutionality and EU Law.
  • Junts sought to personalize the law, which is illegal and breaks the principle of equality.
  • The legislature will continue to be a delicate balance, with the question of the government's trust in Junts.
  • The opposition has resorted to exaggerated political alarmism, however, there are other societal needs that urgently require attention.

Conclusion: Although the amnesty law is fundamental for the government, it is not enough to meet all of society's needs, which have additional legitimate concerns.
