The Spin

Right narrative

Sánchez isn't negotiating this amnesty in the name of Spain but with the aim of remaining in power. By making a pact with pro-independence Catalans, who have been charged with sedition for their roles in the illegal October 2017 referendum, Sánchez will break the country. Spaniards must protest against the proposal that intends to allow traitors to join the government.

CGTN

Left narrative

While Sánchez is pushing for amnesty in the name of Spain, he is also doing so in the interest of Spain. Pardoning the separatists is the right thing to do, as it will bridge the gap between Catalonia and the rest of the country, bringing unity to the nation. The central government must break the political deadlock and bury the contentious issue forever by passing an amnesty law.
