Yolanda Diaz paves the way for a possible amnesty. The Sumar leader defends that this measure is “absolutely constitutional” and points out that among the possible beneficiaries could be the “people who have placed urns” and the law enforcement officers prosecuted, such as the police officers who participated in the device against the independence referendum of October 1, 2017.
“There are multiple assumptions, there are people who have placed ballot boxes; there are law enforcement officers who are also prosecuted for different behaviors. In short, this is the complexity of this standardbut I maintain, like many other jurists in law, that it is absolutely constitutional,” Yolanda Díaz assured in an interview on La 1 de RTVE.
Already last week, Sumar commissioned a report to different jurists to study the constitutional fit of the amnesty, the condition that Junts and ERC have demanded to open up to support the investiture of Pedro Sánchez that allows the revalidation of the coalition government. Nor is the claim new. For weeks, on Yolanda Díaz’s platform they have defended that this measure could be carried out, but until now the Galician had not spoken so clearly, also specifying those possibly affected.

“The amnesty applies to conflicts of a political nature and absolutely exceptional situations”, has defended the leader, who has called to “approach Catalonia as a great opportunity for our country”.That great political conflict that existed It never should have happened”, he pointed out, before denouncing that “we are prosecuting what are really tasks or conflicts of a political nature”.
The leader has said that she cannot “specify” how many people could benefit, and although she has admitted that this new rule is “enormously complex”, she has insisted that the Constitution does not prevent amnesty. The clarity of Sumar contrasts with the greater prudence of the Socialist Partywhich up to now has avoided pronouncing itself in these terms and which until now has evaded accepting this demand from the pro-independence parties.
