Marta García Aller explains EU's conclusion about amnesty: "In exchange for an investiture, it is contrary to European values"

On Tuesday the first two views on the amnesty law in charge of the Court of Justice of the European Union began. One of the conclusions reached by the European Commission is that Amnesty’s law “is part of a political agreement to achieve the investiture” So it does not seem that “respond to a target of general interest.”

Marta García Aller wanted to rescue certain ideas that were mentioned in these views. “An amnesty in exchange for an investiture is contrary to European values”, The journalist mentions the commission, “and European courts are an instance higher than the Spanish Constitutional Court“, he says.

“It does not strain”

The European Commission accused the government of not following the indications of the Venice Commission, and the explanation that García Aller gives is that “Try to please how this government has done, through ambiguity, does not strain for the EC.”. He insists that “the president of the Government had denied that the amnesty was constitutional, until he needed to negotiate with Junts,” is what, From Brussels, they consider “contrary to European values”.

“The president of the Government had denied that the amnesty was constitutional, until he needed to negotiate with Junts, until he needed him to negotiate with his partners,”

The journalist reiterates the weight that European agencies have and ensures that “what Brussels says is what goes to Mass, in Orbán and Sánchez.” And now The decision made by the commission is that “it does not strain”.

“What Brussels say is what goes to Mass, in Orbán and in Sánchez and the European Commission says that this does not strain,”

Government’s speech

García Aller recalls that the government was “giving the turra” with which Amnesty was a measure to “harmonize with Europe”but the journalist points out that “Europe now says”. Qualifies, just as Brussels seems to do, that this movement seems more like a “self -love” and than It goes againstdespite what the government tried to sell, of European values.
