Both the pro-independence members of Junts as well as the PP, Vox and Ciudadanos had the intention of presenting a full amendment, which the regulation requires to be an alternative text, and the Board of Spokespersons must now decide when this new debate will be held in plenary session of Congress

And the forecast, according to parliamentary sources informed Europa Press, is that the period for presenting partial amendments, where it will be seen if any group asks to add the modification of the crime of embezzlement, will end on December 9.
