If on Monday the leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, assured that the investiture agreement with the PSOE was still far away, this Wednesday the negotiator of her party Jaume Asens has assured that there will be an agreement and has even placed the investiture debate of Pedro Sánchez, who yesterday received the order in this regard from the King, in the first or second week of November.
"The agreement is still far away," Asens acknowledged, as Díaz said, "but there will be an agreement," he clarified in statements on TV3, in which he also admitted that in the last legislature the amnesty was not possible because of the conservative composition of the Court. Constitutional Court would have overturned it before it could be effective.
For this reason, Sumar's negotiator, who accompanied Díaz to Brussels to meet with Carles Puigdemont, has defended the opportunity to approve this criminal forgetfulness law in this legislature. In this way, the politician of the commons has assumed that with the current progressive majority of the TC, chaired by Cándido Conde-Pumpido, the amnesty demanded by the independentists could be applied in the face of the appeals of unconstitutionality and precautionary measures that, it is assumed, will be presented by the right and the extreme right. For this reason, he has warned that "it is not about making an amnesty that each of us likes but rather that it passes the filter of the Constitutional Court."
However, he has warned about the risks of closing agreements prematurely because, in his opinion, "this can go wrong at any time and false expectations and frustrations can be generated", for which he has prescribed "a lot of responsibility and common sense". In this sense, he has warned that "the enemies of the amnesty are not the same as those of the pardons, they are much more powerful enemies and are better organized."
In any case, the former deputy has considered it "very complicated and almost impossible" for the amnesty to be in force at the time of Sánchez's inauguration, although he sees it as possible that by then there may have already been a first consideration in Congress.
On the other hand, Asens has celebrated that the situation "is getting back on track" after the "improvisation and nerves" of last week in reference to the resolution proposals approved in Parliament by the independentists in the framework of the general policy debate in which they agreed not to give the votes to Sanchez if he did not commit to working for a referendum, a request that he has called "reckless."
