Thousands of protesters clash with police at Socialist Party HQ in Madrid

Thousands of people gathered to protest in Madrid, Spain on Thursday (November 9) after Catalan separatists agreed to support a left-wing government in Spain in exchange for amnesty.

Catalan separatist party Junts per Catalunya and the Spanish Socialist Party signed an agreement on Thursday that paves the way for a left-wing national government.

After “weeks of intense negotiations” and “profound disagreements,” socialist politician Santos Cerdan announced that the deal means Junts will support the Spanish government for a four-year term.

In exchange for the needed support of the Catalan separatists, the parties also negotiated an “amnesty law” to erase criminal charges related to the Catalan independence push, Cerdan explained.
