Spain Approves Controversial Amnesty Law for Catalan Separatists

The Spanish parliament has approved a controversial amnesty law that pardons hundreds involved in Catalonia's failed 2017 independence bid, including political leaders and police officers. The law, proposed by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's Socialist Party, aims to resolve the crisis and secure support from Catalan separatist parties. The bill passed narrowly, despite strong opposition from Spain's right-wing parties, who plan to appeal the law. The legislation will take effect soon, allowing exiled leaders like Carles Puigdemont to return to Spain.
