The president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazoncalled an extraordinary plenary session of his government this Monday to approve the approval of the appeal against the Amnesty LawThe appointment is “urgent” and will be “monographic and exclusive” since the legal deadline to appear before the Constitutional Court expires this Wednesday.
The Valencian Executive has the favorable opinion of the Consell Jurídic Consultiu (CJC), which understands that “There are enough arguments” to appeal to the TC to obtain amnesty for those found guilty of the attempted separatist “coup d’état” in Catalonia.
Mazón, along with other regional presidents of the PP such as the one from Madrid Isabel Diaz Ayusohas chosen to file an appeal of unconstitutionality against the amnesty law.
