"The amnesty is a gamble that is worth it." This is the end of the editorial published by the Financial Times this Monday in which it addresses the controversy generated around the initiative of Pedro Sánchez's Government to attract the votes of Catalan independentists for his investiture.
The editorial commentary analyzes the steps taken by the PSOE in recent years to try to resolve the Catalan conflict and recalls that, contrary to what some initially predicted, the pardons approved to get the independence leaders out of jail have not given wings to the movement. secessionist Quite the opposite, points out the editor, who highlights the renunciation of ERC's unilateralism regarding the holding of a referendum and the good results obtained by the socialist party in Catalonia.
The editorial comment focuses on Carles Puigdemont and the position of JxCat and emphasizes that it would be a great step forward to ensure that this formation also assumes the path of normalization of relations between Spain and Catalonia. If the price to pay is amnesty, the editor emphasizes, "it is worth it."
The comment also focuses on the role that the PP plays in this debate and considers that it risks finding itself in a political dead end if it only coincides with the extreme right.
