The Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) reached an agreement this Thursday with the independent parties “Together for Catalonia” (JxCat) to facilitate the creation of a new left-wing government in Spain, sources in the two formations cited by Spanish media said.
The agreement reached by the PSOE, led by Pedro Sánchez and the party of former Catalan regional government president Carles Puigdemont, is expected to be publicly announced and formalized this Thursday, according to the same sources.
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.
