Corts does not have the capacity to draft amnesty legislation, no matter how much his constituent groups would like to, but the possibility of it being passed in Congress has increased tensions in the regional parliament. The state debate was moved to the Valencian assembly. And this is at the investment stage Pedro Sánchez and negotiating amnesty for independence leaders with pending crimes due to the process, something the PP and Vox expressed opposition to, while Compromís showed support and PSPV, the acting head of Government defended the negotiating line, but refrained from open support for the measure of grace.
The first initiative submitted by the People’s Party to the ordinary plenary session since its arrival at the Generalitat in Corts was to demand the rejection of “all amnesty” by the PNL. The reference is generalized but is directed to investment negotiations with the ERC and Junts. “The first thing they brought is something that does not impress the Valencians,” he reproached José Muñoz, socialist MP, to the text submitted by the ‘popular’ to the ironic ‘no’ on the PPCV rostrum. “Those who will seek amnesty are the same people who see us as an extension of countries that never existed,” the Catalan Ombudsman said. Miguel Barrachina, Valenciatization of a proposal that the PP presented to all parliaments.
The popular spokesperson requested support for PSPV to “break allegiance” with the current leader of PSOE. “Don’t be a servant of Pedro Sánchez,” Barrachina said. The socialists introduced an amendment that attempted to replace the entire popular text and avoid any mention of amnesty. This alternative text, rejected by the PP, called for the promotion of “coexistence and dialogue” in Catalonia, as Muñoz later claimed in his intervention.
Although one of the PNL’s aims was to encourage agreements between the major parties, the debate has become blurred. The “doormat of Catalan nationalism” consists of Oriol Junqueras, Pepe Cataluña, Mariano Rajoy’s tax amnesty, José María Aznar’s amnesty for Terra Lliure and even the controversy around the Port of Valencia and the alleged pressures of the ERC and Junts to stop expansion Talking about. It caused the main conflict with Compromís. Barrachina told them, “15,000 jobs will be lost without expansion, vote in favor, even if your positions are left on the street.” said. “Lie, loss of job” or “We are with González Pons” was the response from the Compromí bench.
Valencians, Isaura Navarro, Yes, they showed their open support for amnesty. Sending a message of support to the Tavernes council member who was attacked for defending the amnesty law, the deputy trustee said, “It is not prohibited in the Constitution.” Navarro said, “We are in favor of a solution against the problematic PP,” and asked, “Stop encouraging conflict.” “We are on the path of the future, progress and pluralistic Spanish solutions,” he added.
Vox, on the other hand, showed its support for the PNL and therefore its opposition to the amnesty. “If you hadn’t presented it, we would have presented it,” the Voxist deputy told him. José María Llanos, Barrachina, who attacked Pedro Sánchez’s “anti-democratic partners” and stated that this pardon “had only one purpose”: to benefit Puigdemont, who fled Spain with luggage to avoid facing the crimes he committed. “The Spanish people have the right to defend themselves and they will do so by respecting the law,” he said.
Funding controversy
Previously, the debate about regional financing reform had been stuck for so long that we had to resort to biblical quotes to talk about it again. It started with “Whoever is without sin, let him cast the first stone” Joan Baldoví, The Compromís Ombudsman will advocate for the consideration of the bill submitted by the Valencians, which calls for a change in the distribution model. “Voting in favor will atone for your sins,” he finally said. Discussion in between.
This led to a breakdown in the unanimity that accompanies every vote on regional financing in Corts; although it is true that it was used as a battering ram between the parties, with mutual accusations and pending accounts. PP and Vox announced their votes against the consideration of this rule, that is, its processing in parliament, while PSPV stated that it would vote in favor, although it thought that the technical part could be “clearly improved”.
In this sense, the proposal presented by Compromís is the same proposal that was recorded in the Congress and was not discussed because the Spanish Government rejected it on the grounds that it required a budget increase. It now goes back to the Cortes so that it can be debated in the state parliament if approved. This requires replacing the current distribution system based on adjusted population with one based on legal population and without alternative funds.
