“The amnesty law is in place full place in democratic countries and the law and it is in full compliance with the Constitution and our legal framework. “In fact, the Constitutional Court has ruled on several occasions that there are no limitations in the amnesty law,” Bolaños said after his party registered the proposal. The Minister has indicated that law is “useful, necessary and important” to make Spain “a better country.”
