Spain Drops Arrest Warrant for Catalan Leader Puigdemont
Original: Spain Cancels Arrest Warrant for Carles Puigdemont, Catalan Separatist Leader
Spain has cancelled the arrest warrant for Carles Puigdemont, the former Catalan president who led the region's independence push and has lived abroad since 2017 to avoid prosecution. The decision removes a major legal obstacle to his return to Spain and is likely to reignite debate over amnesty for those involved in the separatist movement.
Why now: The withdrawal of the warrant is a significant development in Spain's long-running conflict over Catalan independence and may allow Puigdemont to return home.
