Former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont will not request the investigating judge Pablo Llarena to lift the national arrest warrant issued against him. Instead, Puigdemont’s legal team is placing their hopes on the Spanish Constitutional Court intervening to correct a recent ruling by the Supreme Court. This strategy follows a recent decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) regarding his parliamentary immunity. The defense believes the Constitutional Court can provide protection and challenge the Supreme Court's position. Puigdemont remains in self-imposed exile and faces arrest if he returns to Spain. This decision signifies a shift in legal tactics, avoiding a direct challenge to the current warrant and prioritizing a higher court review. The outcome hinges on whether the Constitutional Court agrees to review and potentially overturn the Supreme Court's judgment.
