Amnesty arrives at the end of the term after the clash between the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court
The Spanish Supreme Court has granted amnesty to key figures involved in the Catalan independence movement, including former Vice President Oriol Junqueras. This decision follows a ruling from the Constitutional Court that mandated the application of the amnesty law, which was initially resisted by the Supreme Court. The amnesty applies to several former officials, while Carles Puigdemont's case remains pending due to his ongoing legal issues. The Supreme Court criticized the Constitutional Court for overstepping its authority in its interpretation of the law, particularly regarding the crime of embezzlement. This situation reflects ongoing tensions between the two courts regarding their respective jurisdictions and interpretations of the law.
