MADRID (AP) — Spain’s Socialist Party has struck a deal with a fringe Catalan separatist party to grant an amnesty for potentially thousands of people involved in the region’s failed secession bid in exchange for its backing of acting Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in forming a new government.Socialist lawmaker and party official Santos Cerdán announced the deal Thursday in Brussels after sealing the agreement with the party led by Carles Puigdemont, who fled to Belgium after leading the failed 2017 independence attempt for Catalonia.“This is a political agreement and an agreement for an amnesty,” Cerdán said.The decision greatly boosts Sánchez’s chances of forming another minority leftist coalition government. Sánchez, a Socialist and Spain’s leader since 2018, still needs the backing of a small Basque party, but he is likely to achieve that.An amnesty has been the crucial part of difficult negotiations by representatives of Sánchez’s caretaker leftist government ...Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says he’s back home after having a minor stroke in Mexico
