Right-wing protesters hit the streets of Madrid on Sunday to denounce controversial Spanish government plans to offer pardons

The mass protest, which is scheduled to start at midday , will up pressure on Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez who has called for understanding over the planned gesture that has dominated political debate for weeks and reactivated the controversy over Catalan separatism.“I understand there may be people who could have objections over this decision that the government may take, given what happened in 2017,” he said on Wednesday during an official visit to Argentina.

“Sanchez is planning pardons to legitimise an ongoing crime… a historic error that won’t solve anything, only to keep his government from going under,” said opposition leader Pablo Casado, head of the right-wing Popular Party . In a letter published on Monday, Junqueras signalled support for the idea of a pardon from Madrid after previously rejecting the idea out of hand, also admitting that the separatists had made errors back in 2017.“We must be mindful of the fact that our response was also not seen as fully legitimate by part of society,” he wrote.
