EU Top Court Upholds Catalan Amnesty Law

EU Top Court Upholds Catalan Amnesty Law

The law was passed to secure Catalan separatist parties' backing for Sánchez's government after the inconclusive 2023 election.

The EU court found that the amnesty did not breach EU law, rejecting challenges from opposition parties.

The ruling could allow exiled leaders like Puigdemont to return, but domestic legal hurdles remain.

The decision is likely to fuel further political debate in Spain.
