Thousands of people took to the streets of Madrid to demonstrate against the proposed Catalan amnesty law. The protesters marched through the city, voicing their opposition to the legislation that would grant amnesty to those involved in the 2017 Catalan independence bid.
The demonstration, which was largely peaceful, saw participants carrying banners and chanting slogans denouncing the amnesty law. Many expressed concerns that the proposed legislation would undermine the rule of law and set a dangerous precedent for future separatist movements.
Authorities in Madrid closely monitored the protest to ensure public safety and prevent any potential disruptions. Despite the large turnout, the event remained peaceful, with no reports of major incidents or clashes with law enforcement.
The protest comes amid heightened tensions between the Spanish government and Catalan separatists. The issue of Catalan independence has long been a divisive one in Spain, with supporters of independence arguing for greater autonomy while opponents emphasize the importance of national unity.
As the debate over the Catalan amnesty law continues, both sides are likely to intensify their efforts to sway public opinion and influence the outcome of the legislation. The protest in Madrid serves as a visible reminder of the deep-seated divisions within Spanish society over the issue of Catalan independence.
