Illa asks the militancy to support the amnesty, “the best guarantee to prevent the process from being reactivated”

Salvador Illa, first secretary of the PSC, will ask his party's militancy this Sunday to support "without reservation" the Government agreement with Sumar and will demand the approval of an amnesty, understanding that it is "the best guarantee" that it will not be reactivate the process.

This was announced by the leader of the Catalan socialists, who are holding their National Council this Sunday, at the meeting of the Federal Committee of the PSOE in which the acting president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has defended the approval now of an amnesty for the prosecuted by the process.

In his speech, Illa assured that he will ask the Catalan socialist militants to vote yes to the question that the PSOE will ask its members: "Do you support the agreement to form a Government with Sumar and obtain the support of other political formations to achieve the necessary majority?"

Likewise, Salvador Illa has expressed his support for an eventual amnesty, because in his opinion it is "the best guarantee" to prevent the process in Catalonia from being reactivated.

For Illa, the amnesty means "a yes to coexistence, to reunion, to generosity without naivety and a yes to the Spanish Constitution", as well as "an exceptional measure to recover full political normality in Catalonia and Spain."

The first secretary of the PSC has also shown himself in favor of "politically articulating a plural and diverse Spain", after claiming: "Spain is all of us and Spain belongs to all of us."

Illa, who closed his speech by expressing his "unreserved" support for Pedro Sánchez, defended that this electoral cycle has confirmed "once again" the plurality of Catalonia.
