Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:04:19 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s Socialist Party has struck a deal with a fringe Catalan separatist party to grant an amnesty for potentially thousands of people involved in the region’s failed secession bid in exchange for its backing of acting Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in forming a new government.Socialist lawmaker and party official Santos Cerdán announced the deal Thursday in Brussels after sealing the agreement with the party led by Carles Puigdemont, who fled to Belgium after leading the failed 2017 independence attempt for Catalonia.“This is a political agreement and an agreement for an amnesty,” Cerdán said.The decision greatly boosts Sánchez’s chances of forming another minority leftist coalition government.
