Everything was ready for PSOE and its partners to present this Thursday the proposed amnesty law, or whatever it ended up being called, in the register of the Congress of Deputies and for next week, on the 8th and 9th, surely, the plenary session would be held. of investiture of Pedro Sánchezbut Carles Puigdemont decided at the last minute to delay its approval of the agreement. It is assumed that the management of Together, but no one doubts that he is the one who controls her, so being begged seems to be his thing. There is something in the explanatory memorandum or in the law itself that he does not like. It is clear that the socialists and their leader have had to swallow some toads and it seems logical that this, amnesty to those accused of the ‘procés’, has counterparts on Puigdemont’s part that go beyond the seven Junts deputies voting for the reelection of Sánchez as president of the Government. It would be desirable for the tenant of Waterloo to also eat some batrachian and commit in some way not to repeat his behavior from 2017. It would be fair.

It could also be that Puigdemont would not like to share the spotlight with Oriol Junqueras and ERC, which this Thursday closed the agreement with the PSOE. He may want the focus for himself. After all, he is the one who had refused to negotiate anything with the Government or the PSOE, whom he harshly denigrated, and, therefore, he is the news for having to swallow his own words. Not so much like Esquerra, which already agreed with Sánchez in the last legislature and has done so again. He has agreed an amnesty of which it is still unknown what it consists ofwho it reaches (everyone, says Junqueras), how it is justified and what compensations it includes, plus the transfer of Rodalies and the forgiveness of 20% of the Catalan debt. An agreement that according to the minister Felix Bolaños It serves to turn the page, close the fracture with Catalonia and guarantees “a stable legislature.”
It is not impossible for the legislature to be stable, as Bolaños says, despite the heterogeneity of the allies and the known volatility of some of them, but what is certain is that it will be angry. Even more than the last legislature, when it seemed that at some moments all limits were exceeded. The terms of the PSOE agreements with ERC and with Junts were not yet known, they are still not known, but the former president José María Aznar already urged us to “act” against Sánchez, which he described as “a danger to democracy.” This country is so accustomed to hyperbole that an appeal like that, which represents the beginning of the all-out war against the socialist leader and his government, does not even attract attention. It can be understood that the pacts with the independentists are indigestible for the right, they are also difficult to digest for many left-wing voters, even in Catalonia. But a call to “act” against a legitimate president, backed by a legitimate parliamentary majority, can be understood in many ways and almost none of them good.
