A few days ago, a Spanish media outlet pointed out that <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/rk9V0\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the amnesty announced by S\u00e1nchez will also 'erase' the crimes of the Russian spies of 'Unit 29155' of the GRU<\/a>, Russia's foreign intelligence service, <strong>in relation to the 2017 separatist coup in Catalonia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The amnesty law not only aims to erase the crimes committed by those involved in that coup, but will prevent further investigation of who took part in it. Thus, <strong>Russian interference in Catalonia will be covered up by the amnesty law<\/strong>. That is why Russia has a special interest in supporting this attack on the rule of law. For this reason, and because <strong>Sanchez's surrender to the separatists will greatly weaken Spain<\/strong>. Until now, Russia has made every possible effort to destabilize and weaken NATO member countries. <strong>S\u00e1nchez has done this great favor for Putin and now the Russian state media thanks him<\/strong> by coming out in support of the Spanish socialist leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there was any doubt that the socialist blow to the rule of law hurts Spain, yesterday the Putin regime made it clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,10398],"tags":[10703,20536,18211,23527,2721,10731,13693,12942,7887],"class_list":["post-53871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-spain","tag-catalonia","tag-coup-against-the-rule-of-law-in-spain-2023","tag-coup-detat-of-2017-in-catalonia","tag-gru-unit-29155","tag-pedro-sanchez-castejon","tag-russia","tag-russia-today-rt","tag-sputnik-news","tag-vladimir-putin"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-09-29 06:12:53","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53871\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
