“There is no need to take things to the last minute and constantly play who gets the last headline three seconds before the vote.” 48 hours after the failed vote on the Amnesty law, Sumar’s recently appointed spokesperson in Congress, Íñigo Errejón, warned Junts of the “wear and tear” that the processing of the amnesty law is causing “doesn’t suit anyone.” .
Sumar’s recently appointed spokesperson in Congress has avoided describing the independence party as an unreliable partner, but has not hesitated to consider the vote against issued last Tuesday by the seven Junts deputies as a “serious error” that, nevertheless , can still be “corrected”.
“The amnesty law that comes out of Congress has to be solid, perfectly constitutional and absolutely impeccable,” Errejón considered in statements to TVE before arguing his position in the “army of examiners” that will review the aforementioned legal text both in Spain as in Europe.
Hence, he has called on Carles Puigdemont’s party to reconsider its position by providing “a longer view, beyond partisan interests” to unravel the process and then make the necessary reforms.
The leader of the confederal space rules out that the recently started legislature is in danger. Although he does regret that, in a delicate context, Junts has fallen into the trap of the reactionary bloc “that wants to derail it” at the first opportunity. “If someone intends to reform the law every time a judge changes his rulings or accusations, then there will never be an amnesty,” he later stated on Catalunya Ràdio.
In this sense, Errejón has praised the steps taken by the PSOE “approving things beyond its traditional ideological perimeter” to defend that the State is not a monolithic block.
