Uría Menendez, Cuatrecasas, Allen & Overy, and other law firms in Spain have issued public statements in support of judicial independence following a controversial political deal to grant amnesty to Catalan separatists.
Acting Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez recently reached an agreement with the Catalan separatist Junts party in which the Junts backed the formation of a new government in exchange for amnesty to everyone prosecuted for their involvement in the failed 2017 independence referendum, including self-exiled former Catalan president Carles Puigdmont.
