ECJ to Rule on Spanish Amnesty Law
The European Court of Justice is reviewing Spain’s amnesty law for Catalan independence leaders. The court will decide if the law breaks EU rules. This could change how the government deals with Catalonia.
The Spanish government is waiting for the European Court of Justice to rule on a proposed amnesty. The court is looking at the law because Spanish courts have questions about it. Catalan separatist parties hope the court will make a positive decision. The amnesty law started in June 2024 and has already helped over 300 people. However, Carles Puigdemont, a former leader, still needs to avoid arrest.
