After a two-year deadlock, a ruling from the European Court of Justice (ECJ) regarding the Catalan amnesty law is expected on Thursday in Luxembourg. The decision will trigger the Spanish Constitutional Court to address appeals concerning the law, specifically one filed by Carles Puigdemont. Both the Spanish government and Catalan independence supporters express optimism that the ECJ will endorse the amnesty. The amnesty aims to quell legal repercussions for those involved in the Catalan independence movement. However, opponents argue it undermines the rule of law. The Constitutional Court has set its own timeline following the ECJ’s ruling. This decision marks a pivotal moment in the long-running dispute over Catalan independence.
