Junts political negotiations and Catalan language status

Overview

The political party Junts is evaluating pacts with the PSOE concerning the amnesty law and the official status of the Catalan language within the European Union.

As the Spanish Constitutional Court prepares to review appeals from leaders of the 1-O movement, legal processes may facilitate the return of Carles Puigdemont, Toni Comín, and Lluís Puig to Catalonia. This follows indications from Supreme Court Judge Pablo Llarena that amnesty could be applied following a ruling on embezzlement.

In parallel, the Spanish Government has sought to place the officialization of Catalan, Basque, and Galician in EU institutions on the European Council's agenda. While the proposal requires unanimity among the 27 member states, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has signaled a firmer stance, suggesting Spain may withhold approval for new EU members until these linguistic issues are addressed.
