An unwinnable Christmas no-confidence vote against Sánchez?

🔊 A flurry of urgent legal reform proposals on Friday morning in Madrid created political urgency too.

Junts, Puigdemont's Catalan separatist party, has tabled its amendment to reform the crime of the misuse of public funds, to remove it altogether if the money is not taken for personal gain. Esquerra, Junqueras's Catalan separatist party, has tabled its amendment this morning to reform that same crime "with the aim of advancing in the dejudicialisation of social and political life and of limiting the potential arbitrary actions of the state to persecute and repress the Catalan independence movement" and to reduce the maximum sentence to three years in jail. They say in their press release that their fundamental aims are still an amnesty and a referendum.
