Massive Madrid Protests Erupt Against Controversial Amnesty Deal and Catalan Pardon

Thousands of people rallied in Madrid to protest against Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who secured another term with the support of smaller parties, including Catalan separatists, by agreeing to grant amnesty to individuals involved in Catalonia's separatist movement. Critics argue that the amnesty is a self-serving measure to maintain power and undermines the rule of law. The protests have been organized by the far right and some have turned violent. Retired right-wing generals have also called for the removal of the prime minister and new elections.
