MadridNext Thursday, July 16, the Court of Justice of the European Union will rule on the amnesty.

But the ruling will have effects beyond that: knowing what Europe thinks is the condition that the Constitutional Court had set to resolve the appeals for protection affecting Carles Puigdemont and Oriol Junqueras. So, is their judicial journey over? Not yet: see the analysis.
