Thousands of people are expected to gather in Madrid on Sunday to protest against a possible amnesty for those who took part in the failed push for Catalan independence six years ago that plunged Spain into its worst political crisis in decades.
At the beginning of the month, one of his acting deputy prime ministers, the Sumar leader, Yolanda Díaz, travelled to Belgium to meet Puigdemont to discuss possible options for a new government.
The PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will seek MPs’ backing next week to form a new government, but his effort is likely to fail as he lacks the necessary support in congress.
Sánchez added that his approach to the Catalan question – which has been markedly more conciliatory than that of his PP predecessor, Mariano Rajoy – had paid off and had managed to bring a “traumatised” Spain back together.
But the PP has accused Sánchez of hypocrisy and naked opportunism, pointing out that the Socialist leader had previously opposed an amnesty and had vowed that those responsible for the attempt to break from Spain would face justice.
Feijóo will be joined at the protest by two of his predecessors – Rajoy, who was prime minister at the time of the Catalan crisis, and José María Aznar, who governed Spain between 1996 and 2004.
