14-Mar-24: 'Amnesty law for independence figures approved in Spanish Congress'
The amnesty law for politicians and activists involved in Catalonia’s independence push is getting closer to becoming a reality after the bill was approved in the Spanish Congress. Pro-independence MPs said that the amnesty law turns a page on repression and injustice, but warn they have self-determination in their sights next. Right-wing opposition accused the Spanish government of buying votes, while the Socialists are confident the law will help them in the upcoming Catalan election.
