Puigdemont’s possible return follows lifting of detention order

Carles Puigdemont left Spain after Catalonia’s 2017 independence declaration and has lived in Belgium.

Spain’s Supreme Court has lifted the detention order against him, but a judge’s decision still includes conditions, so his return is uncertain.

The amnesty process has put Puigdemont and ERC leader Oriol Junqueras on more equal legal footing.

This could affect Catalan politics, though the article says the outcome for Puigdemont remains unclear.
