EU court rules Spains amnesty law compatible with EU law: Sánchez hails reconciliation move
The European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled that Spain's amnesty law is compatible with European Union law, according to reports from La Vanguardia and El Mundo. The court stated that the law aims to "reduce institutional and political tensions and facilitate a scenario of reconciliation."
The Spanish government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has hailed the ruling as a victory. The law was registered by the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in 2023 and aims to promote reconciliation, coexistence, and institutional normalization in Catalonia, according to La Vanguardia.
The law has already benefited around 400 people, but the amnesty for nearly 100 former senior political officials is still pending, according to La Vanguardia. Former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont has not yet indicated when he will return to Spain, according to El Mundo.
The Spanish Supreme Court continues to maintain its position on certain aspects of the law, and the Constitutional Court is expected to rule on pending appeals in the coming months, according to El Mundo.
Various political leaders and parties have expressed their views on the ruling. The law has been a source of political polarization in Spain, with opposition parties criticizing it as a political maneuver.
The law was initially proposed by the Spanish government to address the aftermath of the 2017 Catalan independence movement.

"Rima Hassan is breaking Europes Palestine taboos. France put her on trialProsecuted for defending Palestinians right to resist, the MEP says Gaza has exposed a complete divorce between governments and their publics.On Monday, EU foreign ministers were locked in a tense meeting in Brussels over whether to ban trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Every single one of the 27 member states agreed that these settlements were illegal, yet the measure fell short of the majority needed to force the European Commission to act, with Ursula von der Leyens executive continuing to resist. As those debates played out in Brussels, the politician who has done more than most to force that reckoning among European states was preparing for another court date amid a trial in which she stands accused of alleged apology for terrorism.".,,..,., #palestine #france #EU #gaza
