CNN —The Spanish parliament has approved a controversial amnesty law Thursday that could benefit hundreds of people facing prosecution for their roles in the failed independence bid in Catalonia, in and around Barcelona, in 2017. The vote for the bill, introduced last year by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s ruling Socialist Party, was 177 to 172, the speaker of Spain’s lower house of parliament announced. Crucial support came from two Catalan separatist parties, Junts (Together) and Esquerra Republicana (Republican Left), each with seven seats in Spanish parliament. Spain’s main opposition conservative Popular Party and the far-right Vox party voted against the measure. Just before the vote, the Madrid regional government president Isabel Diaz Ayuso, of the Popular Party, vowed to appeal against the new law to Spain’s Constitutional Court, the highest in the land.

REUTERS/Borja Suarez/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsMADRID, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Spain said on Thursday it would create additional emergency accommodation for 3,000 undocumented migrants in military barracks, hotels and hostels amid a 55% jump in arrivals by sea this year, which has triggered political tension. Escriva declined to disclose how many additional beds will be created, but a ministry source told Reuters it would be around 3,000 in total. But this time the central government's approach has been to expand emergency accommodations across the country, hoping to ease pressure on the Canaries. Following police screenings, migrants will be placed in the military barracks, hotels, hostels and other types of accommodations on a voluntary basis, the ministry source said. Escriva argued the situation was well-handled and manageable, and said some conservative politicians were whipping up what he called xenophobic rhetoric.

☆ Spain's conservative PP party lead narrows one month ahead of national election - poll
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-26 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

The survey, carried out between June 16 and 23, showed the PP would get 140 seats in the 350-member lower house, down from 141 a week earlier. The poll, commissioned by El Mundo newspaper, showed far-right party Vox, the PP's likeliest post-election ally, would get 35 seats, down from 36 a week earlier, Sigma-Dos said. A likely coalition between Vox and PP would be one seat short of the 176 outright majority. Sanchez on May 29 called a surprise snap election after his party and its junior coalition partner Podemos were routed in regional and municipal ballots. Following the May municipal and regional elections, local negotiations between PP and Vox resulted in bickering in some cases.

☆ Spain's conservative PP elbows Socialists out in regional elections
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-29 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Spain's ruling Socialists suffered heavy losses to opposition conservatives in Sunday's local election, with around 95% of the votes counted, showing their electoral vulnerability ahead of an end-of-year general election. Only three of the 12 regions holding elections will retain Socialist dominance by very narrow margins, with the rest likely go to the conservative People's Party, albeit with coalitions or informal support agreements with the far-right Vox party. The gains for the People's Party (PP) indicate the conservatives could unseat the current left-wing coalition led by the Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) if they replicate the performance in national elections by December. The numbers showed few clear majorities, except in the Madrid region where regional president Isabel Diaz Ayuso of the PP looked set to win re-election with an absolute majority. Campaigning had been marked by several controversies, from allegations of voter fraud in small towns to an unprecedented case of kidnapping.

"...I believe it is necessary to respond and submit our democratic mandate to the will of the people." But it is highly unusual for a Spanish government to call a snap ballot after a poor performance in a regional vote. The PP potentially took as many as eight regional governments from the Socialists, depending on how successful the opposition party is in negotiating alliances with Vox.

REUTERS/Juan MedinaMADRID, May 27 (Reuters) - Spanish voters head to the polls on Sunday in regional and municipal elections, the results of which will serve as a barometer for an end-of-year general election. Voting is taking place in 12 regions and 8,000 towns and cities, most currently run by the governing Socialist Party (PSOE). Polls are predicting gains for the conservative People's Party (PP), which if replicated later in the year could unseat the current left-wing coalition. Voting opened at 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) and will close at 8 p.m. Over 35 million people are eligible to vote.

MADRID, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of Spain's health workers protested in Madrid on Sunday over what they say is the destruction of the public health system by the conservative regional government. Protesters say it is dismantling public health services and favouring private health providers. Ayuso denies the accusation that her administration is dismantling public health services in favour of the private sector. Thousands of health workers also demonstrated in Santiago de Compostela, in northwestern Spain on Sunday, calling for the preservation of the public health system. In November, tens of thousands of people marched through Madrid in support of health workers calling for better working conditions.

Liderul conservator al regiunii Madrid din Spania, care a sfidat luni de zile guvernul central de stânga prin menținerea barurilor și magazinelor deschise în timpul pandemiei COVID-19, a câștigat marți alegerile regionale. Partidul Popular (PP) a obținut 65 de locuri din 136 în adunarea regională, dublu față de ultimele alegeri, scrie digi24. Aceasta a declarat, după scrutin, că rezultatele arată o susținere a politicilor sale de menținere a barurilor, restaurantelor și a altor afaceri deschise pentru a susține economia. În pofida presiunilor guvernului central, Diaz Ayuso a refuzat să impună restricţii stricte în contextul combaterii pandemiei pentru a proteja afacerile, în special barurile şi restaurantele, care au rămas deschise. Deşi înfrângerea stângii la aceste alegeri regionale nu pune sub semnul întrebării menţinerea sa la putere, premierul Sanchez, aflat în prima linie a campaniei electorale pentru aceste alegeri regionale, iese slăbit.

Germania, care a respectat până acum abordarea comună a UE în ceea ce privește vaccinurile anti-Covid, a declarat că va începe discuțiile pentru a asigura aprovizionarea cu vaccinul rusesc. Un alt imbold primit de vaccinul Sputnik a fost dat de India, după ce Autoritatea de reglementare a medicamentelor de acolo a autorizat utilizarea vaccinului rusesc, respectiv producția la nivel local.
