Controversial Power Deal: Spain's Sánchez Offers Amnesty to Catalan Separatists

Spain's acting prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has secured a controversial amnesty deal with a Catalan separatist party, which would grant amnesty to politicians and activists involved in the failed bid for Catalan independence in 2017. The deal brings Sánchez closer to four more years in office, but has sparked anger among conservative opponents who accuse him of dragging Spain towards "humiliation". Right-wing protesters have taken to the streets in Madrid and other cities, criticizing the law granting amnesty. The amnesty law will be put before parliament in the coming days.
