Spain's Constitutional Court officially validated the amnesty law, ruling it constitutional while distancing the legislation from what it termed Sánchez's "political transactions" for his investiture. The tribunal stated legislators can enact anything not explicitly prohibited by the Constitution, rejecting PP arguments about judicial interference.
The ruling triggered sharp political reactions. The PP denounced the decision as "political corruption" and questioned the tribunal's legitimacy, with Feijóo claiming it legitimizes "buying a government with privileges." Puigdemont acknowledged the favorable ruling would not lift his arrest warrant.
Throughout the day, the Captain Bonilla affair escalated as the PSOE branded it "Kitchen 2.0," referencing previous PP surveillance scandals. Three ministers refused to retract accusations against the Madrid official despite conservative claims the allegations had collapsed.
