The independentists also propose a self-determination referendum for the Spanish region of Catalonia, according to a document released by the socialists, “PSOE-Junts Agreement.”
The agreement is key so that the socialist Pedro Sánchez can be sworn in as president for another four years in Spain.
The pact was signed by the “number three” of the socialists, their Organization secretary Santos Cerdán, and the general secretary of Junts, Jordi Turull.
The PSOE also assured that the agreement with Junts is for the legislature and not only for the investiture.
The negotiators of Junts and the PSOE closed the agreement in the last hours after a few days of intensifying contacts, with multiple exchanges of documents to polish the wording of the amnesty law and prevent its possible beneficiaries from being affected by restrictive interpretations. .
An amnesty law that will have to be registered in the coming days in the Spanish Parliament for processing, before the investiture debate of Pedro Sánchez, which is expected for next week.
