In June, the so-called Amnesty Organic Law was adopted, with an ambitious subtitle: This measure was sold for the "institutional, political and social normalization" of Catalonia. In theory, it was about suppressing the "crimes" related to the procés of Catalonia and the referendum of October 1, 2017; in some way, eliminating those crimes.

The Amnesty Law, which entered into force on 10 June, has so far been applied to 154 persons, in all cases in the internal courts of Catalonia. Among the beneficiaries, the police predominates, since 61% of the "amnestied" people are agents of the National Police, Civil Guard or Mossos d'Esquadra. I mean, 95. They were mainly prosecuted for beating and assaulting on the day of the referendum, in which the National Court judged the Supreme Court.

Last week, 45 civil guards who worked violently on the day of the referendum were "amnestied" by the Civil Guard in Catalonia. In July, an amnesty for 46 policemen was also massively decreed, due to the beatings and assaults they suffered in Barcelona on 1 October 2017. The judge considered that agents should be discontinued because "the actions investigated had a reduced individual duration" and were "within a defined police objective", according to the judge. Four mossos were also previously amnestied in Barcelona, although among them they were charged with a crime of injury.

According to the estimates of the Attorney General’s Office, the Amnesty Act can be applied to a total of 486 persons. It shall apply to the 82 judicial proceedings in progress, including several courts: The Supreme Court, the Spanish National Court and various Courts of Catalonia. However, they have advanced that the Amnesty Law "does not collect" all the facts or "crimes" that are being investigated by the National Police.

Why does the Basque Country not have an adequate media share?
It is drawn as a taboo subject in the Basque Country, but this is not the case in the world. Language policies cannot be put into the logic of the free market, but quotas or quotas must be established. They are necessary. And the ones that exist need to be complied with, because... [+]

Moratorium on a project in Mallorca that would be the largest macro-farm in the Spanish state

Differentiated financing of Catalonia
