Ferraz Street blocked by a protest against the amnesty in front of the PSOE headquarters

A group of people gathered this Friday afternoon on Ferraz Street in Madrid, where the national headquarters of the PSOE is located, to protest the agreement between the Socialists and ERC and the future amnesty law for the investiture. of the candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.

The concentration that started around 7:00 p.m., whose call has emerged in recent hours on social networks and has been supported by organizations against Catalan nationalism such as 'Dolça Catalunya', brought together a group of people carrying Spanish flags and with shouts like "Pedro Sánchez to prison."

The National Police has blocked Ferraz Street, near Buen Suceso, before the PSOE headquarters in Ferraz, where attendees have gathered to protest against the pact with ERC that includes, among other measures, an amnesty law that would favor the defendants of the Catalan 'procés', the transfer of the powers of Rodalies or the forgiveness of up to 15,000 million euros of debt from the Autonomous Liquidity Fund (FLA) to Catalonia.

The protest has been supported by the vice president of Castilla y León, Juan García-Gallardo, of Vox, who has expressed on social networks that "we Spaniards have a lot left to say in the streets." "Some people from Madrid tell me that he stayed a good afternoon to take a walk through Ferraz at 7:00 p.m. It would be a shame to be in Madrid and not go," he wrote.

A person has been arrested for trying to jump the police cordon deployed on Ferraz Street. Sources from the Government Delegation have told Europa Press that the Police asked this rally attendee for documentation three times after jumping the police cordon and, when he refused, he was detained.
