Carles Puigdemont maintains low profile amid amnesty uncertainty

Carles Puigdemont is maintaining a low public profile as he awaits clarity on whether the amnesty law will allow him to return to Catalonia. According to members of the Junts party, the former president is avoiding significant political movements until his legal status is resolved, following a recent endorsement of the amnesty by the Court of Justice of the European Union.

This period of silence comes as the Junts party faces challenging electoral prospects. Recent polling suggests the party could drop to fourth place, potentially securing only 16 to 18 seats, a significant decrease from its current 35 parliamentary members. The party is also facing increased pressure from the rise of Aliança Catalana, which is attracting a portion of its electorate.
