MADRID, 15 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The PSOE candidate for the investiture, Pedro Sánchez, has justified the granting of an amnesty to those involved in the independence process in Catalonia, ensuring that “the circumstances are what they are.”
In his first intervention before the deputies to ask for their confidence, he defended the law and assured that it is “perfectly legal” and “in accordance with the Constitution”, despite the fact that before the 23J elections, Sánchez himself maintained that a amnesty was not possible because it was unconstitutional.
On the other hand, the PSOE candidate has claimed the “progressive forces” that are expected to give him their support in contrast to the postulates of PP and Vox, emphasizing that they are as Spanish as the forces on the right.
“By the way, we are as Spanish as you, we are no less Spanish than you,” Sánchez proclaimed, addressing PP and Vox during his speech at this investiture session.
