Thousands of demonstrators take the streets of downtown Madrid on 18 November 2023 to protest against the government's decision to grant amnesty to Catalan separatist leaders. The deal struck with Junts Per Cat (JPC) (Together for Catalunya, in Catalonian) has allowed Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to form a new minority coalition government following an inconclusive election in July. Junts is a group bent on achieving independence for the northeastern region of Catalonia and is headed by Carles Puigdemont, who fled Spain after leading an illegal secession bid in 2017 that brought the country to the brink.
