Thousands of ordinary citizens got into legal trouble for their parts in Catalonia’s illegal independence bid that brought Spain to the brink of rupture six years ago
FILE - Catalan pro-independence demonstrators spend the night blocking a major highway near Girona, Spain, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2019. . Now they are hoping to be saved. Spain’s acting prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, is negotiating with Catalan separatist parties on the possibility of issuing a sweeping amnesty for the separatists in exchange for their helping him form a new national government in Madrid.
“I became very bitter,” Calvo said. “I felt betrayed by the justice system, but also I thought about all the efforts that the movement had made in the fight to achieve independence that had gotten us nowhere.” Sánchez and his center-left Socialist party have tried to keep as quiet as possible on the amnesty question, but the leader has acknowledged that talks are on-going with the Catalan parties, including one led by the fugitive former regional leader of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, who fled Spain for Belgium after his dream to carve out a new state in northeast Spain collapsed.
For Montserrat Nebrera, professor of constitutional law at the International University of Catalonia, the negotiations between Sánchez and the separatist leaders are a “hall of mirrors” wherein both sides try to appear that they have the upper hand, when in reality they need one another.
