They say, they say... that now Puigdemont is really coming back

For more than a decade, Puigdemont's return has marked Catalan and Spanish politics, but now the moment of truth has arrived. It seems clear that the Constitutional Court will grant protection to the leadership of the Procés and that the Supreme Court will withdraw the arrest warrant for the former president. This is confirmed by both TC sources and Supreme Court sources, and Puigdemont's circle also gives credence to this path. They say, they say... that the former president is now actually returning. The scheduled calendar is as follows: this Tuesday, September 22, there is a first debate at the Constitutional Court in which a majority of magistrates will position themselves in favor of the amnesty for Jordi Turull and against the proposal of the conservative rapporteur José María Macias to reject it. As a result, the report will move to the next plenary session, which will be on October 6, where it is expected that President Conde Pumpido will present a proposal favorable to the amnesty of Dolors Bassa, that it will be approved by a majority and that it will also have effects for Puigdemont.If everything goes according to plan, when this sentence is published, towards the end of October, Llarena will be bound by it, as will the criminal chamber of the Supreme Court, which is the one that must dismiss the case. Puigdemont does not want to reveal anything about how his return will be, but it will undoubtedly open a new chapter. First, because it will put an end to an unfair situation after nine years in exile. Also for the former prisoners, like Junqueras, who with the amnesty will be able to run in the next elections. It must be remembered that the amnesty law was approved in Congress two years ago and until now the courts have refused to apply it.Second, because Puigdemont's presence in Catalonia will be a turning point for Junts. To begin with, beyond touring the country, the former president will have to assess whether he takes on the role of leader of the opposition in Parliament, as Junts' officials are demanding, and visualizes an alternative to Salvador Illa, or if, on the contrary, he decides to withdraw from the race for the Generalitat. Puigdemont's landing in the party may also be associated with making changes to the leadership. That is to say, that he decides to replace people who currently hold a lot of power with other profiles.And third, the Spanish government hopes that Puigdemont's return will pave the way towards a reconciliation with Junts, even in the form of a budget. A scenario that the Junts members currently do not even want to hear about.M-30 connection
