“A Spanish law granting amnesty to those involved in Catalonia’s separatist drive does not violate European Union law, the EU’s top court says, in a boost to the Spanish government and its Catalan allies. The Court of Justice ruled on Thursday that EU law does not preclude the Spanish amnesty law because its adoption and application fall within the competence of member states. … In 2024, the Spanish lower house approved a law to annul the criminal records of hundreds of officials and activists involved in crimes related to the Catalonian secessionist push from 2011.” (07/16/26)
