Spain’s leader defends polemical amnesty for Catalan separatists ahead of key vote on new government

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:12:06 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s acting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Wednesday defended his controversial amnesty deal for Catalonia’s separatists in parliament in a heated debate a day before the Socialist leader seeks the endorsement of the chamber to form a new government.Sánchez has the support of six smaller parties to ensure that he can reach the absolute majority of 176 deputies needed to reestablish his minority coalition government with the left-wing Sumar (Joining Forces) party.The formation of a new government would end a period of political uncertainty since inconclusive national elections on July 23 left a highly fractured parliament. The center-right Popular Party received the most votes in the elections, but it failed to get enough support to form a government in September because of its alliances with the far-right Vox party.The Socialists finished second in the elections with 121 seats in the 350-seat Parliament but now have the support of 179 lawmakers in all.Controversy h...

These scoring options are finely tuned and ready to reap dividends in Week 11. These are my best bets to find the end zone.___Running BackTONY POLLARD, COWBOYSPollard has been somewhat of a letdown this season fantasy-wise, and there are a number of reasons why that mostly has nothing to do with him as a back, but this is the week we’ve all been waiting for. Dallas plays the run struggling Panthers this week, our absolute best matchup for opposing backs. They’ve allowed 15 TDs to running backs on the season, the most in the league. Helping his case is the fact that Carolina, on the other hand, defends the pass well. They’re a top-10 defense in that regard, so teams are inclined to run against them.RAHEEM MOSTERT, DOLPHINSOur rushing TD (11) leader on the season, Mostert is on a tear, scoring five TDs in his past five games before the Week 10 bye.
