Catalan separatist politician Carles Puigdemont is set to return to Spain after a warrant for his arrest was lifted. This decision follows a ruling by Spain’s Constitutional Court that an amnesty law, recently passed, applies to Puigdemont and other Catalan separatists. The amnesty law was a key component of a deal to secure the support of Catalan separatist parties for the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government. Puigdemont fled Spain in 2017 following a failed independence referendum in Catalonia. The court's decision effectively removes the legal obstacles preventing his return. While the amnesty law remains controversial, it paves the way for Puigdemont to re-enter Spanish political life. This event marks a significant development in the ongoing political tensions between Spain and Catalonia.
