(00:00):
Pusemon has announced that a new stageopens in which he will try unilaterally to
achieve the independence of Catalonia. Butanother way. That means, according to
his surroundings, that he takes theAmnesty pact for granted before the deadline expires
in Congress on Thursday or, morespecifically, that Pusemon assumes that the sun

(00:22):
is going to cross his last redline again and will include terrorism in Amnesty
to try to prevent the Supreme fromcontinuing to investigate him for the tsunami case.
The leaders of Junes recognize that thatof socialist baccles in Galicia and the

(00:43):
outbreak of corruption of the Koldo caseplay in their favor in the so.
They' re so weak they saythey won' t be able to say
no. Another clear indication that thenew cession is imminent is the determination with
which the GOO Government is interpreting,let us say biasedly the report of the

(01:04):
Venice Commission. What this consultative bodyof the Council of Europe has to say
is that Amnesty can be legitimate andeven include terrorism, which is no small
matter. But if certain conditions exist, of course when described as political support,

the last word should be given tothe citizens, either by convening a
referendum madoc, as socialist Jordi Sevillahas just proposed, or by accepting the

(01:55):
plebiscite character of the European elections ofJune 9, since, after the Congress
has tried it, Amnestyn' slaw will be discussed two months in the
Senate and that will take us assoon as mid- May. The logical
thing would be that Sanchez will waitfifteen more days to include Amnesty in his

(02:21):
election program and will subject his finalapproval to the popular verdict. It is
obvious that the EPEP is going toinclude Amnesty in its programme to the contrary,
and that it saw that a largemajority of Spaniards will go to vote
to make clear their position on thisfar- reaching issue. The very thing

(02:42):
about a democracy would be to waitfor that people to speak as much if
Sánchez takes the law to the Boeduring that European election campaign as if he
did Then, regardless of what thepolls say, he will start to have
a problem, not of constitutional legitimacy, but of moral authority to continue ruling.

(03:05):
It is not difficult to imagine thedouble political hell that awaits you if,
after 9 June, you decide tochallenge the popular will about Amnesty,
while the plots of corruption continue togrow in your party
