A Catalan separatist politician named Puigdemont was ordered to return to Spain following a Constitutional Court ruling that lifted an amnesty law previously protecting him. This decision marks a significant shift in the legal status of Catalan separatists, as the court applied the amnesty provisions to him specifically. The ruling occurred in October 2026, and while the court explicitly lifted the amnesty, the broader implications for future separatist activities remain uncertain.
