After six months of formalities after registration, having been rejected in the Senate, the Amnesty Law was passed by an absolute majority in the Spanish Congress. The law has received the votes in favour of PSOE, Sumar, Junts, ERC, EH Bildu, PNV and BNG, so it has overcome the barrier of 176 votes needed.

The debate in Madrid was short, but hard, and at times there has been much controversy and the members of the far-right have been insulted. But, finally, after its approval, its supporters have applauded it, especially the representatives of the Catalan forces have celebrated it and declared a "historic day": the law has been presented as "a failure of the regime of 78" by Gabriel Rufián of the ERC.

The PP, Vox, UPN and the Canary Islands Coalition have voted against the law and Pedro Sáchez’s requests for resignation have been consistent in the conclusion of some of them. Alberto Núñez Feijóo accuses Sánchez's government of offering "privileges" and "impunity" to some citizens over others.

In contrast, according to Jon Iñarritu of EH Bildu, the passage of the law shows that "political conflicts are resolved through dialogue, not in the courts." Nationalist Mikel Legarda has also described the law as an important element to "improve coexistence".

However, the law will not enter into force immediately, but when it is published in the Official Gazette of the State of the BOE, and for this it first needs the ratification of Felipe Borbón, but the king of Spain is absent until Sunday, specifically in El Salvador.
