  • The Amnesty Law seeks reconciliation and has precedents in other European countries.
  • The Venice Commission supports the law but questions the speed of its enactment.
  • The Venice Commission is a respected body and its views are considered even if they are not legally binding.
  • The Commission urges that the law be approved by a wider majority to facilitate bridge-building.
  • There is strong political polarization around the Amnesty Law, being supported by the PSOE and separatist parties, and rejected by the PP and Vox.

Conclusion: Despite the criticisms and political divisions, the Amnesty Law will proceed. It is suggested that the parties look for ways to build bridges and find common ground to achieve greater cooperation and consensus.
