PoliticsEU court endorses Spanish PM’s contentious Catalan amnesty

The arrangement enabled Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to remain in office in 2023. It also triggered major protests by opposition parties. The ruling therefore reinforces a measure that has remained at the center of Spain’s political dispute over Catalonia and the government’s parliamentary survival.
