Colau warns that the amnesty is not "done": It will be more "complex" than the pardons

Ada Colau has called for "caution" and "not taking the amnesty for granted" because its negotiation and approach "are more ambitious and complex than those of the pardons" granted at the time to the leaders of the process.

In her speech at the meeting of the National Council of her party, the former mayor of Barcelona and coordinator of Catalunya en Comú, wanted to send "a message of realism" to all formations and called for "avoiding leaks and gesticulations" so that negotiators can move forward successfully.

Colau, however, welcomed the opportunity to propose a "de-judicialization of the conflict" for which his political space "always opted" and recalled that on Tuesday at the Ateneo de Barcelona the deputy and "mediator" Jaume Asens, as well as the leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, will present the legal opinion for the amnesty proposed by the group.

"The opinion, entrusted to a team of jurists, will be rigorous work that will allow us to continue moving forward with the different formations to achieve a bill in which everyone can agree and for which everyone will have to give in a little. "said Colau.

The coordinator of Catalunya en Comú has pointed out her conviction that the amnesty, despite its complexity, "is constitutional" and also "desirable to the extent that it will allow us to begin a new stage where politics is resolved in the political arena and not in the judicial arena." ".

Likewise, Colau has said she is "proud" that the "brake on the right and the extreme right" at the polls last June 23rd had a lot to do with the great participation of the Catalan electorate.
