Spain is grappling with widespread unrest following Acting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's proposal to grant amnesty to Catalan separatists. The move has ignited violent protests in Madrid, resulting in 39 injuries and four arrests. Despite the turmoil, Sánchez's Socialist party has secured the backing of the Catalan separatist Junts party, a deal that may secure a third term for the Socialist leader. This controversial agreement has drawn international scrutiny, with European Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders seeking clarity on the proposed amnesty law. Amid the political chaos, a shocking assassination attempt was made on Alejandro Vidal-Quadras, a veteran conservative Catalan leader, further escalating tensions. In response to the political developments, massive nationalist protests have erupted in Madrid and Barcelona, with calls for a 'Permanent Mobilization' against the socialist forces.
