Vía libre al regreso de Puigdemont: el Constitucional ordena al Supremo que amnistíe la malversación del ‘procés’
Con siete votos a favor y cinco en contra, el tribunal de garantías ampara a la exconsejera de la Generalitat Dolors Bassa y fija la doctrina de la que se beneficiará el ‘expresident’ fugado
The Constitutional Court's full session declared that the Supreme Court must grant an amnesty for the embezzlement committed by Catalan politicians during the independence process, according to the Tuesday approved ruling led by the progressive and guarantees court president Cándido Conde-Pumpido. The ruling stipulates that by denying ex-Justice Minister Dolors Bassa the effectual judicial protection from the amnesty, the Supreme Court's Criminal Division infringed her right to effective judicial protection through an "extensive interpretation, contrary to the spirit and purpose of the law" and "contradictory" to the Amnisty Act.
Consequently, the court concludes that it is necessary for the Supreme Court to issue a new resolution declaring the embezzlement crime amnesty, similarly applicable to former President of Catalonia Carles Puigdemont, paving the way for his return.
