The second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, took for granted this Wednesday the approval of the amnesty law and has guaranteed the constitutionality of the modifications that are going to be incorporated because they are “within the directive that regulates this matter and the legality of our country”.
After being one of the first to apply, even visiting Carles Puigdemont when the photo with the leader of Junts seemed like a hot potato that few wanted to have in their album, the leader of Sumar had kept a low profile since the failure of the first attempt. approval of the law. But given the imminence of the agreement that all parties involved predict, this morning she sent a message of “calm” about its constitutionality.
“It is a law of general impact that must of course respect the crimes of terrorism, the impact on equality in short,” he assured, emphasizing that “this rule is neither for Marta Rovira nor for Carles Puigdemont.” “And the modifications that are incorporated” are within compliance with the European directive “and also” within the legality in our country,” she stated.
Díaz stressed in an interview on RNE that “there are no rules for specific people” and stressed that it will be a law “for Catalan citizens” and that he defined as “a kind of reconciliation in a political process that we should never have reached.” “.
The second vice president did not want to answer whether with the Amnesty law negotiated by the PSOE and Junts, the former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont will avoid the judicial case opened against him by the process, considering that “this type of trials” does not concern her. But she has defended that what happened in Catalonia during the 2017 independence process “is not terrorism”, as well as that “when there is an agreement there is no unilaterality.”
“If I sit down with Mr. Garamendi, with Mr. Sordo and with Mr. Álvarez and reach an agreement as I reach with many of them, logically there is no unilaterality nor are there any interpretations on the part,” exemplified the also Minister of Labor, who added that “as long as there are no agreements the parties defend what they believe, but when it is signed, reality is what it is.”
For all these reasons, the leader of Sumar has confirmed that the amnesty law serves to provide a solution to the “terrible management of the PP, which abdicated from politics” during the process and that has led Spain to a situation to which it should never have “arrived” and to which “the independentistas” also contributed.
After maintaining that “there will be an amnesty”, Díaz has advanced that “there will also be General State Budgets” because “despite all the noise that exists in Spain, it is evident that there is no other alternative” and that the policies public accounts that the Executive is deploying are positive for the country and the public accounts “will also be positive.”
Regarding whether the amnesty agreement also binds the budgets, the second vice president stated that “they are two different phases” and that they will have to negotiate the budgets “with all the political formations in Congress.”
“Budgets are the most important norm of a country, there we draw the prospection that we want for Spain and it seems to me that it is true, it is going to be another complex negotiation, well it is going to be. But there will be General State Budgets,” he concluded. .
