The European Commission has warned this Monday that it will be attentive to the impact of the amnesty law that Junts demands to support the investiture of the acting President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, especially with regard to crimes of malpractice that affect European funds.

This has been stated by the Commissioner of Justice, Didier Reyndersin an intervention in the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) committee of the European Parliament in response to a question from PP MEP Javier Zarzalejos, who warned the commissioner that said law would leave “private content” judicial sentences and ongoing proceedings for “very serious” crimes such as embezzlement or disobedience.

“Rest assured that we will be attentive to the way in which the dossier evolves, especially when there are links to the point you mention of problems of embezzlement or irregular appropriation of public funds,” the commissioner responded.

Reynders wanted to make it clear that at the moment he cannot make a precise evaluation of the amnesty law because there is no formal document on the table that he can examine.

“For now I read a lot of things, like other things, but I don’t have texts at my disposal so I can hardly comment on any text,” Reynders said, referring to the fact that Brussels does not formally take sides on new national legislation as long as there are no firm proposals.

Until now, the community Executive had limited to saying that he could not make judgments about a rule whose details are unknown and which, in any case, are national issues and it is up to Spain to decide how to act, as long as it is within the constitutional framework.
