Trump calls Supreme Court mail ballot ruling 'big loss for Republicans'
President Trump blasted his three Supreme Court appointees for blocking a Postal Service rule that would have allowed mail-in ballots in November's elections.
Spain's Supreme Court has denied amnesty for Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont, who faces charges of embezzlement related to Catalonia's independence movement. The court also maintains an active arrest warrant for Puigdemont. The decision comes after the European Union's Court of Justice ruled that the 2024 amnesty law for Catalan separatists complies with EU legislation.
Puigdemont was excluded from amnesty due to two grounds: allegedly seeking personal financial gain and harming EU financial interests. The Supreme Court agrees with the Socialist-led government that the amnesty law aligns with EU law but maintains that Puigdemont's alleged intent to gain financially overrides the EU interpretation.
The Constitutional Court has yet to rule on how the Amnesty Law applies to this specific case, and Llarena notes he can't predict the outcome of pending appeals. Puigdemont's warrant remains active, and he can only be arrested if he enters Spanish territory.
