"Carles Puigdemont's Amnesty Demand Puts Spanish Leader in a Tight Spot"
Carles Puigdemont, the former Catalan leader who fled to Belgium in 2017, has demanded amnesty for himself and other separatist leaders as a condition to support the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez. Puigdemont's demand comes as negotiations are underway to form a new government in Spain, and he seeks to secure a political solution for Catalonia's independence movement.
