EU lawmakers lift the immunity of ex-Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, two of his associates

EU parliament removes immunity from 3 Catalan separatists wanted by Spain

Published Tuesday, March 9, 2021 7:04AM EST BRUSSELS The European Parliament on Tuesday lifted the immunity of the former president of Spain s Catalonia region, Carles Puigdemont, and two of his associates, a move that could pave the way for their extradition and reopen the scars of separatism in Spain. The Spanish government immediately welcome the decision by the European Union s legislature as a victory for the rule of law and against those who sought to break the rich northeastern region away from the rest of Spain. The decision will likely also extend the 3 1/2-year legal saga on the fate of the three separatists by months, if not years, since many avenues for appeal remain open before any possible extraditions.
