The EU’s top court is reviewing Spain’s amnesty for Catalan independence leaders, assessing whether it complies with European law and justice standards.
Tuesday’s crucial hearing in Luxembourg will end up defining whether Spain was able to implement a political amnesty after agreeing it with pro-independence parties, and whether that is in conflict with the European Union law and values.
During yesterday’s hearing, significant disagreements emerged as the European Commission’s representative strongly criticised the amnesty law, while lawyers for the defendants, the State Attorney’s Office, and the Public Prosecutor argued in favor of its legality, as per reported by Eldiario.
