In a significant development, Spain's Constitutional Court has taken steps towards endorsing the core of the contentious amnesty law, sparking a flurry of political reactions. The draft ruling, which supports the fundamental aspects of the law, is set to be debated in the court's plenary session next week. This move has prompted the People's Party (PP), particularly its Secretary General, Cuca Gamarra, to voice strong opposition. She argues that the draft resolution is one of several compelling reasons for Spaniards to rally against Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez this coming Sunday at Madrid's Plaza de España.

Gamarra maintains that the amnesty served as the leverage Sánchez used to secure his investiture and kickstart his current legislative term. Nearly two years on, she accuses parts of the government of targeting those who pursue justice against criminals, referring to what she describes as a "dirty war" led by PSOE activist Leire Díez. Gamarra criticizes this as emblematic of "Sanchismo," urging citizens to protest for a more ethical government and a different direction for Spain. Despite her vocal criticisms, Gamarra admits she has not reviewed the draft due to lack of access, which she considers logical.

The Constitutional Court's position suggests that while the amnesty law is largely constitutional, it identifies minor issues needing adjustment. This perspective is detailed in a report prepared by the court's vice president, Inmaculada Montalbán, and will be assessed by ten justices in the upcoming weeks. Their decision, expected by June 24, will address a challenge posed by the PP, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The proposed ruling highlights three instances of constitutional conflict within the law's text, dismissing the rest of the PP's objections.

As political tensions mount, the upcoming court decision and the public's response could significantly impact Spain's political landscape, underscoring the deep divisions and challenges facing the current administration.
