Article 581 states: <em>\"<strong>A Spaniard who induces a foreign power to declare war on Spain or agrees with it for the same purpose<\/strong> will be punished with a prison sentence of fifteen to twenty years.\"<\/em> <strong>As Russian troops offered to break national unity, Puigdemont could be accused of this serious crime.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>What S\u00e1nchez already knew about the contacts between Russia and the separatists<\/big><\/p>\n<p>The question that should be asked now is: <strong>what did Pedro S\u00e1nchez know about this when he agreed to the amnesty with his separatist partners?<\/strong> Well, taking into account that he has intelligence services at his disposal, <strong>it can be assumed who knew everything<\/strong>. Let us remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/05\/10\/the-spanish-intelligence-service-beheaded-to-satisfy-putins-puppets-in-spain\/\">Russia contacts and Catalan separatism became known in 2020<\/a> thanks to an investigation by the Civil Guard.

Judging by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldebate.com\/espana\/20240129\/este-manuscrito-vincula-puigdemont-emisario-putin-intervenido-guardia-civil_170456.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\" _blank\">a manuscript that is in the judge's possession<\/a>, it does not seem that Puigdemont rejected that offer.<\/p>\n<p><big>S\u00e1nchez beheaded the CNI at the request of the separatists and gave them access to official secrets<\/big><\/p>\n<p>In any case, it must be remembered that in May 2022, <strong>the day after Puigdemont admitted these contacts<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/05\/10\/the-spanish-intelligence-service-beheaded-to-satisfy-putins-puppets-in-spain\/\">S\u00e1nchez beheaded the National Intelligence Center (CNI) to please the separatists Catalans from ERC<\/a>, who rejected the shipment of weapons to Ukraine after the start of the Russian invasion of that country.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, in December 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europapress.es\/nacional\/noticia-erc-junts-bildu-consiguen-minima-aval-congreso-acceder-secretos-oficiales-controlar-cni-20231219233743.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Catalan separatists of ERC and Junts gained access to the commission that controls the CNI in Congress<\/a>, after the socialists made a reform to lower the number of votes necessary to access that commission, <strong>thus facilitating access to official secrets to the same separatists who had contacted Russia to break up Spain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><big>The amnesty agreed by S\u00e1nchez could prevent investigation of this Russian interference<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Finally, S\u00e1nchez agreed to agree to an openly unconstitutional amnesty with those separatists, <strong>an amnesty that would serve to prevent the judicial investigation of this Russian interference in Spain<\/strong>.
