EU court upholds Spanish amnesty law as compatible with EU law
- Amnesty for people involved in Catalonia independence movement introduced in 2024 by PM Pedro Sanchez’s government.
- 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.
