In his end-of-political-course assessment, Pedro Sánchez celebrated last Tuesday the recent endorsement by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) of the Amnesty law: “It has confirmed that we acted in accordance with the law to promote reconciliation.” “It was a brave but necessary decision that allows us to look to the future together again,” he emphasized. He even stressed that “a success of the Amnesty law is that the PP and Junts are reunited, nothing more and nothing less.” However, the President of the Government said nothing in his appearance about the fact that the Council of Ministers had just approved, in its last meeting before the August break, granting a partial pardon to Laura Borràs, which will prevent the former president of the Parliament of Catalonia from going to prison, as later revealed by the Ministry of Justice.

The OECD became aware of the high exemption rate of students in Catalonia in the PISA tests in March 2026, when it received the relevant reports from Spain and its autonomous communities, and immediately communicated the issue to the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, according to a spokesperson for the organization speaking to La Vanguardia. The tests were conducted in April 2025 and at that time technicians from the Ministry and the Generalitat already warned of the high rate of students exempted from taking the exams, but according to the ministry, they did not report it to their superiors, so there was no room for correction nor, supposedly, the ability to inform the OECD evaluation group.
