What changed
Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament
AI summary:The resolution no longer recognises González as president but demands full voting results and respect for the election outcome. It adds support for regional governments and international efforts, and welcomes Spain's asylum decision for González. It softens the call for an ICC arrest warrant, asking instead for investigations and accountability. The other changes are formal: decimal commas replace decimal points.
