Spain’s leader mulls granting amnesty to thousands of Catalan separatists_我的网站

一 |     Sophie 编译 财政部长Nicola Willis仍然对需要削减多少公共服务岗位以应对减税承诺三缄其口。         总理Christopher Luxon去年在AM节目中警告说，在他的政府领导下，商业、创新和就业部（MBIE）可能“绝对”会裁员30%。         Advertise with us          国家党致力于兑现其减税承诺，并在大选中提出削减各机构开支。         但为了实现减税的目标，各部门一直在逐个检查他们的账目，以弄清如何达到政府6.5%或7.5%的成本节约目标，同时全面冻结招聘和计划裁员。    BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona accountant Oriol Calvo ran afoul of the law when he was arrested in 2019 during a mass protest by supporters of Catalonia's independence from Spain that turned violent. A court found him guilty of public disorder and of aggressive behavior toward a police officer — offenses he denies. The 25-year-old is among several thousand ordinary citizens who faced legal trouble for their often tiny part in Catalonia’s illegal secession bid that brought Spain to the brink of rupture six years ago.Now Calvo hopes his conviction and those of many others will be wiped clean if Spain’s acting prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, follows through and issues a sweeping amnesty for the separatists in exchange for their movement's political parties helping him form a new government in Madrid.Calvo's sentence of 18 months was suspended since it was his first offense, but it is still a stain on his record and has affected his willingness to participate in politics. He has stopped going to rallies for independence for fears that it could complicate his legal situation. He also felt betrayed.“I became very bitter,” Calvo said. “I felt betrayed by the justice system, but also I thought about all the efforts that the movement had made in the fight to achieve independence that had gotten us nowhere.”Sánchez, who has granted pardons to several leaders of the movement in the past, says that the amnesty will be positive for Spain because it will further reduce tensions inside Catalonia. Yet no one doubts that he is doing it only out of political necessity given how divisive the Catalan independence movement is both inside Catalonia and the rest of Spain.A national election in July left no party close to an absolute majority and with Sánchez in need of the support of several smaller parties to stay in power. Those include two pro-secession Catalan parties who led the unsuccessful 2017 breakaway attempt and who now find themselves holding the key votes in Parliament that Sánchez requires. Given the chance to play kingmaker, the two separatist parties are using their leverage. They have made an amnesty law as a prerequisite for supporting Sánchez.The clock is already ticking. Sánchez has until Nov. 27 to form a government, otherwise new elections will be triggered for January.Sánchez and his center-left Socialist party have tried to keep as quiet as possible on the amnesty question, but the leader has acknowledged that talks are on-going with the Catalan parties, including one led by the fugitive former regional leader of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, who fled Spain for Belgium after his dream to carve out a new state in northeast Spain collapsed.Spain’s courts are still trying to have Puigdemont extradited. Given that Puigdemont is considered an enemy of the state for many Spaniards, any deal that could benefit him is politically toxic.Tens of thousands of people rallied in downtown Barcelona on Oct. 8 against a possible amnesty in a sign of the danger that Sánchez runs.An amnesty "would be shameful because Spain can’t be governed by people who want to split from the country,” said 23-year-old Pablo Seco, an aeronautical engineer who attended the rally.For Montserrat Nebrera, professor of constitutional law at the International University of Catalonia, the negotiations between Sánchez and the separatist leaders are a “hall of mirrors” wherein both sides try to appear that they have the upper hand, when in reality they need one another.“Pedro Sánchez needs the amnesty law to pass so he can get the four votes he is lacking,” Nebrera told the AP. “The secessionists, however, also need to show their people that they are not only interested in saving the necks of their leaders ... but also of the people who disobeyed authorities or damaged public property and whose punishments, while not huge, have greatly complicated their lives.”Spain’s conservative party, which lost a bid to form a government last month, is already bashing Sánchez for what it describes as selling Spain out to stay in power. Former Socialist prime minister Felipe González has also said that the amnesty is not merited.Spain granted a sweeping amnesty during its transition back to democracy following the death of dictator Francisco Franco in 1975. But legal experts are divided over the constitutionality of an amnesty for the Catalan separatists.The pro-independence Catalan organization Omnium Cultural says that an amnesty should benefit some 4,400 more people, mostly minor officials and ordinary citizens who either helped to organize an illegal 2017 referendum or participated, like Calvo, in protests that turned ugly.But Omnium and the two Catalan separatist parties say they want much more than just a clean slate for people in trouble with the law: they want the terms of the amnesty to establish a legal pretext for Catalonia eventually holding a binding, authorized referendum on independence.“For us, the amnesty is not the solution to the conflict, it is the starting point from which the conflict can begin to be resolved,” said Xavier Antich, president of Omnium Cultural.That going-for-broke position, however, may run the risk of wrecking the whole operation, as well as leaving people like Calvo in the lurch.“They have already tried to have a referendum authorized and it has not worked,” Calvo said. “So I believe that trying to force something that we know isn’t going to happen is useless and could derail the amnesty talks.”___Videojournalist Hernán Muñoz contributed to this report.。         Luxon和Willis周一晚上会见了48个公共部门的负责人，讨论了他们的期望，以及他们希望如何共同努力取得更好的成果，造福新西兰人。

二 |          Willis周四接受AM节目采访时说，会议上提出的问题是“建设性和积极的”。

三 |          “Luxon和他们谈到了我们为新西兰所做的扭转局面的工作。我和他们谈了我们的期望，希望他们为纳税人的每一分钱创造更多的价值。”          “这些问题是建设性的、积极的，他们希望与我们合作。公务员之所以成为公务员，是因为他们想为国家做出贡献，我们的一些首席执行官决心完成这项工作。

四 | ”          Willis说，所有公共部门的负责人都相信他们能够实现节约成本的目标。

五 |          “他们真的参与了这项工作，也积极地让员工参与其中，并主动提出了提供更好价值和节省成本的想法。”          主持人追问Willis，他们之所以如此自信能够实现节约目标，是不是因为“他们太害怕了，不敢说”其他的。         “我认为他们可以做到。我想他们中的许多人都知道，我们作为一个国家所走的道路是不可持续的。过去6年里，政府开支增加了80%，但结果如何呢？”          “无论是医院的候诊名单，还是教育和成绩，以及暴力犯罪，我们都没有得到应有的回报，公务员们知道我们必须做得更好。

六 | ”          然后，问题转向了可能失业的人，主持人问Willis是否计算过人数。         “我还没有这些数据，”Willis回答说，“我们现在进行的流程是，各机构正在向部长们提出建议，说明可以实现节约的地方。”          “我们已经要求各机构把重点放在低价值项目和后勤官僚主义上，减少在顾问和承包商身上的开支。不可避免的是，其中一些提议将涉及重组和减少某些实体的职位，但我还没有对这些数字的预测。

七 | ”          主持人继续向Willis追问这个数字，“你肯定有一个大致的数字”，因为这个问题可以追溯到去年的大选。         “不，我没有，因为我们采取的程序是，所有机构的各种提案都需要经过再确认。”她回答说。

八 |          “部长们随后将考虑这些提议。我们可能会拒绝其中一些建议，可能会要求其中一些加以深化，然后我们会把所有这些放在一起，评估对员工人数的影响。
