06.10.2026 ⇢ The Day the Constitutional Court Cleared Puigdemont
⌨

Editors moved on from the 29-N call to its mechanics: Sánchez's 72-hour decision after Junts's no, the calendar toward dissolution, and a government move to re-approve the failed housing decrees through the Permanent Deputation. The left negotiated unity between Sumar, Podemos and Frente Amplio while employers challenged the general strike and the PP questioned postal voting.

By midday the Constitutional Court displaced the campaign, ordering the Supreme Court to apply amnesty to procés embezzlement. Judge Llarena lifted Puigdemont's national arrest warrant without yet granting amnesty.

Sánchez re-approved 21 housing measures, accusing Parliament of turning its back, with PNV support expected. From Waterloo Puigdemont claimed victory over repression, defended self-determination and unilateral action, and gave no return date. Sánchez welcomed a return but ruled out a meeting. Red alerts for torrential rain spread along the Catalan coast.
