Pedro Sánchez accused of hypocrisy, cynicism and putting his political survival before country’s interests
Spanish MPs are preparing to vote on the deeply divisive amnesty law for Catalan separatists that enabled the prime minister Pedro Sánchez’s socialist-led coalition government to secure a second term in office after last year’s inconclusive general election.
The draft law covers about 400 people involved in the symbolic, consultative and unilateral independence referendum of November 2014 and the poll that came three years later. It was followed by a unilateral declaration of regional independence that plunged Spain into its worst political crisis for four decades.
