Significance
The bill was introduced as part of a deal to convince JxCat to support Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s minority government, so its approval is crucial for government stability.
Impacts
Victory in the Galician election on February 18 will bolster the position of Alberto Feijoo, leader of the PP, the main opposition party.
PP will seek to become more open to future cooperation with JxCat, given their policy compatibilities.
Tensions between the government and JxCat could increase in other policy areas, such as immigration.
If approved, the Amnesty Bill will likely face several appeals, but the law cannot be placed on hold during the legal challenges.
