Big win for Sánchez and Puigdemont as top EU court backs Catalan amnesty law

The EU’s top court ruled that Spain’s amnesty law for Catalan separatists does not violate EU law, advancing Carles Puigdemont’s potential return to Spain and strengthening Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s political position. The court rejected claims that EU funds were misused to support Catalonia’s 2017 independence referendum, but Puigdemont’s Supreme Court indictment remains unresolved.
