1/ Reports are in this morning that the amnesty deal is finally done, and that the PSOE and Puigdemont have managed to work out whatever it was that was stopping them
I just wonder how many PSOE supporters, because they have done a pretty good job over the last few years with Sanchez at the helm, will feel betrayed by this move to amnesty. It could be a substantial number, and if it does come to an election in January ( still a slight possibility) who will they vote for - if anyone, such is the state of Spanish politics at headline level.
The only real senior socialist mumbling, apart from Felipe González and Alfonoso Guerra, is from García-Page in Castilla la Mancha. But only mumbling, not revolt.

But it's Sanchez who the majority of socialist voters see as the man who is the turn coat.
