“It is not a perfect law. (…) It is the most robust that has been possible, but we do not lose sight of the fact that no law can completely cover up all the political interpretations that some judges want to make.” The Government, through its spokesperson, Patrícia Plaja, is thus putting pressure on Junts to approve the amnesty law. The post-convergents maintain a pulse with the PSOE that could bring down the norm. They demand that the terrorism and high treason exclusions be removed, and that immediate application be guaranteed. Otherwise, those of Jordi Turull and Laura Borràs have announced that they will not position themselves in favor.
The movements of judges Manuel García-Castellón and Joaquín Aguirre, always in tow of the negotiations to forge the amnesty law, have caused Junts to walk with the fly behind their ears. The first investigates the case for alleged terrorism of Tsunami Democràtic; The second has reactivated the Voloh operation, according to which the independence movement, led by Carles Puigdemont, would have had contacts with Russia.
Plaja, after the ordinary meeting of the Executive Council, insisted this afternoon that if the law is approved it would allow the closing of “hundreds of open cases.” In the spokesperson's opinion, it is a "necessary and essential" norm, not only to combat "repression", but also to move towards a self-determination referendum.
“Once achieved, its development and application must be guaranteed, because there will be those who will make misleading interpretations of the law, even once it is approved with all the legal guarantees of the legislative power. This will happen, and we must protect ourselves against the repressive will of the judges,” said Plaja, in an implicit message to Junts.
“For allowing the vote they have been imprisoned, targeted, persecuted, spied on and their assets and properties have been seized,” Plaja recalled, just before reiterating that the Amnesty law that is being voted on this afternoon in Congress would allow “to close all unjust causes.”
However, the Government wanted to emphasize that in the years of the process there were no crimes of treason or terrorism, so "fictional justice is being done." "You cannot control the judicial power," the Government spokesperson finally stressed.
