The King has awarded the Order of the Golden Fleece, the highest decoration granted by the Crown, to Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, former president of Portugal, as a sign of his personal and institutional appreciation. It is the first distinction by Felipe VI to a foreign personality since his proclamation, following the award of the Golden Fleece to the Princess of Asturias, Queen Sofía, former Prime Minister Felipe González, and the fathers of the Constitution Miquel Roca i Junyent and Miguel Herrero y Rodríguez de Miñón.

The Government of Pedro Sánchez insists on celebrating the endorsement of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) to the Amnesty law as the explicit confirmation of the goal of its “brave and risky policies” for “reconciliation,” and to “appease” the institutional and social conflict that erupted in Catalonia in 2017 with the independence process. “Reconciliation has been achieved,” highlighted this Friday the Minister of the Presidency and Justice, Félix Bolaños, in an interview on Ser.

In Catalonia, and during the board meeting in which the congress of the Catalan PP was formally convened, the secretary general of the popular party, Miguel Tellado, took advantage of the platform to unleash all the artillery against Sánchez’s partners, naming Junts, ERC, and the PNV one by one. After a week marked by the indictment of former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the PP leader stated that the aforementioned parties “are as rotten as Pedro Sánchez’s Government.”
