In a heated session at the Spanish Congress, the Popular Party (PP) proposed a law to bar individuals with terrorism convictions from running for office unless they publicly renounce terrorism and apologize to victims.

This initiative comes amid controversy over a recent legal reform that could shorten prison terms for ETA members.

The proposal was rejected by a majority, with only PP, Vox, and UPN supporting it.

EH Bildu criticized the move, accusing the PP of trying to achieve through legal means what they couldn't at the polls.

The debate highlighted deep divisions in Spanish politics, with accusations of betrayal and calls for moral accountability.
