  1. The bill would create a destination supplement for special circumstances for judges and prosecutors assigned to Catalonia, to guarantee they can carry out their duties normally when disturbances make their work harder.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
