- Carles Puigdemont back in Spain in 2026?78¢78%
Recent court rulings in October 2026 have cleared the primary legal barrier for Carles Puigdemont's return, as Spain's Constitutional Court extended the 2024 amnesty to embezzlement charges and the Supreme Court lifted his arrest warrant. This development, followed by Judge Pablo Llarena closing the case summary in early November, has shifted trader sentiment toward a quicker resolution while Puigdemont remains cautious about timing. He has signaled no immediate return, preferring full amnesty application and an institutional homecoming in Catalonia amid the November 29 snap election. Allies Toni Comín and Lluís Puig have already reentered Spain, highlighting momentum, yet historical patterns of political maneuvering suggest the outcome hinges on final Supreme Court steps and any last-minute campaign calculations.
