The Senate lawyers will analyze what would happen if the Amnesty law were not processed

Vox has ended up joining the PP's strategy to turn the Upper House into a counterpower in the current legislature as a last-minute ally despite the struggle that both forces maintain to lead, and capitalize on, the offensive against the Government. All this with the Galician elections just around the corner.

Leaving behind the differences shown to date on the matter, the Senate Board - where the Popular Party enjoys a majority - has seen fit to accept the proposal of the ultra party to request a report from the lawyers so that they can analyze the consequences that would have if not admit the Amnesty law to processing as it passes through the Upper House.

The initiative, accelerated yesterday before even knowing the result of the vote on the Amnesty law in Congress, seeks to know the "various opinions" about the effects that this hypothetical decision of the Board would have on the legislative processing of the amnesty for those involved in the process. For example, determine whether it would be feasible to return it to Congress. Something that, at least until last night, the PP has reiterated not to contemplate in order to be able to start, and control, the Senate stopwatch whose times could delay the processing for a minimum of two months.

The fact is that this report has been requested from the legal services along with another that refers to the substance of the amnesty law, with the objective of knowing the opinion of the lawyers of the Upper House regarding the constitutionality of the norm that is debate in Congress.

The processing of the amnesty, in the event of the admission of the Board after passing through Congress, would last two months despite its urgency thanks to a regulatory reform promoted by the Popular Group.
