Spain Is Doing Something Brave, Writes Professor Omar G. Encarnación for the New York Times
Omar G. Encarnación, Charles Flint Kellogg Professor of Politics in the Division of Social Studies at Bard, writes about the controversial new Spanish amnesty law that would offer a blanket pardon to hundreds of Catalan separatists. “Yet despite the stench of political opportunism that hangs around [Prime Minister] Sánchez’s amnesty deal, this is a bold—even a brave—attempt to put an end to the Catalan crisis, offering a way out of a damaging impasse for Spain,” writes Encarnación. “It also testifies to the positive role that amnesties can play in democracies.”
