Félix Bolaños, Minister of Presidency, Justice and Cortés Affairs, said on Friday that former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont could return to Spain. “It’s not an issue that depends on the government at all.”and advocated waiting. … For the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the amnesty law.
In a statement to the media on the floor of Congress, Bolaños considered Thursday’s bill “a very important step in the final validation of the amnesty law for all purposes,” stressing that the executive branch had always defended the law as legitimate. “It was constitutional and in accordance with European law.”.
That said, he cautioned that “we must wait for the CJEU’s judgment” as “the conclusions are not conclusive and non-binding”.
But he used the opportunity to criticize the party’s response to the report released yesterday, advising people to “read before you give your opinion and think before you speak, because that way you can avoid embarrassment.”
As for the amnesty law, he insisted that whether Puigdemont’s return is near or far, “what is more important than the legal issues.” “A law created to guarantee the coexistence of Catalonia”.
For the attorney general, in his opinion, “the purpose of the law has already been achieved.” “Political, social and institutional normalization in Catalonia is a fact.”.
“That is the success of the amnesty law, which will be recognized over time and will eventually be recognized by the many people who have been critical of the law,” he stressed.
