Protests have erupted in Spain and Tangier, Morocco over plans for an amnesty for Catalan separatist leaders involved in the illegal 2017 independence referendum, leading to 39 injuries and four arrests. Demonstrators have been chanting slogans such as 'Spain is Christian, not Muslim'. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, now on his third term, has secured the support of the Catalan separatist Junts party, drawing criticism for the potential amnesties for separatist activists. A delegation of the ruling Spanish socialist party, PSOE, has arrived in Brussels to negotiate with Carles Puigdemont, a fugitive living abroad since he organized the illegal referendum. Sánchez has blasted the protests, calling them led by 'reactionaries'. European Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders has asked for details about the proposed amnesty law.
