However, the proposal was immediately rejected by members of the central government. They are “absolutely against it,” said presidential minister Félix Bolaños. Government spokesperson Pilar Alegría spoke about an announcement Aragonés made with a tactical view of the May 12 parliamentary elections in Catalonia.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has promised the separatists, among other things, amnesty for anyone who came into conflict with the law during the failed divorce attempt in 2017.
