Around 60 pro-independence politicians are awaiting their amnesty as the definitive yes to Puigdemont arrives
Criminal forgiveness is already recognised for 80 politicians and 189 activists and protesters, 54% of all potential beneficiaries.
Carles Puigdemont is preparing to move from Waterloo, Belgium, where he has lived for nine years, to Barcelona. He is waiting for the Tribunal Supremo to certify the amnesty law, approved in 2024, which would absolve him of responsibilities related to events in Catalonia in 2017. While Puigdemont's amnesty is nearly resolved, along with 11 others, 60 other politicians and high-ranking officials of the Generalitat still face obstacles.
According to Alerta Solidària, 80 party representatives and 189 activists and protesters have been granted amnesty, representing 54% of possible beneficiaries in those categories.
