In recent days, the amnesty has returned to the forefront of political news following the ECJ's endorsement and the six applications of the law made by the Supreme Court. Despite this, the pardon has not yet reached everyone. Beyond the well-known cases of the leaders of the 'Procés', who continue to await the Constitutional Court, there are other independentists who judges from both Madrid and Catalonia have excluded from the scope of the law. Unlike Carles Puigdemont and Oriol Junqueras, who have been excluded due to a convoluted argument by Pablo Llarena and Manuel Marchena regarding embezzlement, the other cases have not benefited because the justice system has considered that they had no connection with the independence movement.

The Supreme Court has suspended the trial of CUP MP Eulàlia Reguant due to a procedural irregularity. Faced with the defence's protests, the court will set a new date for the trial, which was to begin this Tuesday.

Five axes and dozens of concrete proposals. These are the conditions that the CUP put on the Government's table in order to shift its opposition to the budget: as ARA has learnt, the CUP demand, on the one hand, scrapping the candidacy to the Winter Olympic Games and the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Complex, as well as putting the new tender for Catalonia's racetrack in Montmeló on hold. On the other hand, CUP also demands higher income tax for those earning over €60,000 a year and a wealth tax on the super rich. The proceeds would be used to fight climate change.

As has become customary in Catalan politics in recent years, negotiations are running out of time. The composition of the Parliamentary Bureau that will emerge from the 14 February elections will be no exception, and in the end everything points to the pro-independence supporters closing the negotiations in extremis. This Wednesday Esquerra, JxCat and the CUP met again in a three-way meeting in Parliament, but ended the meeting without a common position. Carles Puigdemont's party announced in the afternoon that it will present a candidacy to preside over the Parliament, which clashes with the CUP's aspirations to lead the chamber. Before the Parliament is constituted this Friday, a 24-hour negotiation against the clock is underway to find out whether or not there is finally an agreement on the governing body of the chamber.
