Spanish politics is unfolding like the plot of a spy novel, except that it’s all real.
Socialists tailor amnesty law to allow terrorists to avoid prosecution.
The meeting abroad would be a victory for the separatists as it gives the appearance of bilateral negotiations between two heads of state.
Partido Popular’s leaders in Madrid attended the protest, which took place as the governing socialist party held secret meetings with separatist leaders.
Thousands and thousands of Spaniards are taking to the streets every night.
The prime minister’s party has already registered a bill for an amnesty law that would wipe away charges for separatists.
MEPs question whether the amnesty for Catalan separatists violates the rule of law.
“This is not the time for parties, it is the time to put aside our differences to defend the nation.”
The political agreement between Spain’s socialists and Catalan separatists is an insult to the rule of law.
