Instead of working from the centre, Mr Sanchez polarised Spain with his amnesty pact, and now he is trying to divide Europe. We will not allow it.
Mr Sanchez delivered a disappointing Presidency. He is undermining the rule of law, deepening splits in society. Europe is worried.

We are very concerned about the deterioration of the rule of law in Spain following the socialist amnesty pact. It risks breaching the separation of powers and undermining judicial independence. Respect for the rule of law is not negotiable in the EU. 🇪🇺🇪🇸
Following the agreement between the Spanish socialists and the Catalan separatists with the goal of allowing acting PM Pedro Sánchez to remain in power, the EPP Group calls for a debate in next European Parliament plenary in Strasburg.
