The Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) and the independent parties Together for Catalonia (JxCat) signed an agreement this Thursday to promote the creation of a new left-wing government in Spain, socialist leader Santos Cerdán confirmed at a press conference.
The agreement reached by the PSOE, led by Pedro Sánchez and the party of former Catalan regional government president Carles Puigdemont, was signed this morning in Brussels, where the Catalan independence activist lives and is a member of the European Parliament.
The agreement includes an amnesty for those who participated in Catalonia’s attempt at self-determination, which culminated in a unilateral declaration of independence in 2017 under the leadership of Puigdemont, who has lived in Belgium since that year to escape Spanish justice.
