The European Commission questions whether the amnesty law responds to the "general interest"
According to the Spanish lawyer who has participated on behalf of the European Commission, it is clear that the amnesty law is the result of a political agreement to obtain the investiture of Sanchez. He has also stressed, ignoring the Venice Commission, that the urgent processing of the law has "deepened" the division of the political class, institutions and society.
The European Commission has questioned on Tuesdaybefore the Court of Justice of the European Union whether the amnesty lawresponds to an objective of 'general interest'. Moreover, it has considered it to be the result of the political agreement to obtain the investiture of the current head of the Spanish Government. In this regard, it has stressed that the urgent processing of the law has' deepened 'the division into the political, institutional and social classes.
This was expressed by the Spanish lawyer for the European Commission, Carlos Urraca, at the hearing held this morning at the EU Court of Justice , which concerns the former Presidents of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont and Artur Mas, as well as a number of other charges, including the analysis at today's session of whether the Catalan process has caused any economic damage to the EU's economic interests.

Counsel adds that "the Spanish authorities ignored the recommendation of the Venice Commission"to take the time necessary to prevent the split.
On the other hand, counsel criticises the fact that there is a two-month period for the application of the amnesty, since he believes that the power of the Court of Auditors to verify or reject such a connection is limited.
