00:02It is a symbolic victory for Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and a decision directly
00:08impacting the case of Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont, the Court of Justice of
00:14the European Union, ruled that Sánchez's amnesty law for Catalan separatists involved
00:19in the 2017 failed cessation bid complies with EU legislation.
00:24The law was passed to secure the support of Catalan separatist parties so Sánchez could
00:30remain in power after he failed to secure a clear majority in the 2023 Spanish General
00:36election.
00:37Siempre dijimos, desde el Gobierno, lo que hoy afirma rotunda y literalmente el Tribunal
00:42Europeo.
00:43La amnistía es un instrumento adecuado para apaciguar un conflicto político o social.
00:49La amnistía pretende reducir las tensiones institucionales y políticas generadas por
00:54el proceso de independencia de Cataluña y facilitar un escenario de reconciliación.
00:59The Catalan separatist party, together for Catalonia, welcomed a major victory.
01:05Nosotros consideremos que hoy es un día, es un día transcendent.
01:09Hoy es una gran victoria, yo creo que es una victoria rotunda de Cataluña en general
01:14y también de la independentismo de manera particular.
01:18Puigdemont, who currently lives in self-imposed exile in Belgium, continues to face arrest
01:24in Spain as he is accused of embezzlement.
01:26Hence, the final say rests with the Constitutional Court, which is examining the former President
01:32of the Government of Catalonia's appeal for constitutional protection.
01:36Gracias.
01:38Gracias.
01:39Gracias.
