The Spanish Government welcomes the ruling on amnesty and says that 'even critics would not want to give up fruit'
The Spanish Government welcomes the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the amnesty law and calls for it to be applied "as soon as possible" to the leaders of the procés.
Bolaños, in turn, has highlighted the consequences of the law, and that nowadays " noone, not even the most severe of its criticisms, would want to give up its benefits. "
In an institutional statement from Moncloa, he said that with this ruling "it is clear" that the law can be applied "fully"and that it has affected nearly 400 people, "from activists and protesters to security forces and bodies."
"But the law will be fully enforced, as approved by the Cortes Generales, when it also applies to the political leaders who promoted the independence process. This will be the final stage in the process of institutional, political and social normalization in Catalonia, and it would be good for everyone if this stage were to take place as soon as possible, "he said.
Response from the PP
At the opposite extreme, PP sources, who have not made statements, have pointed out that the judgment handed down this Thursday by the Court of Justice of the European Union "does not rule on the whole law" because "it was limited to a very detailed examination" of therule and therefore "does not examine the constitutionality or the political timing".
According to PP sources, the European judgment 'clarifies the doubts raised by the Spanish courts on certain aspects of Community law and will therefore now be applied by the courts on the basis of that ruling '.
For the party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, this is "one more step in a long judicial process," but they say that the government "will try to present this judgment as the end of the debate . "
"They're wrong, the debate was never just legal, the debate is whether a president can negotiate criminal privileges in exchange for a parliamentary majority, and our answer remains no, "he criticized.
