Llarena confirms the lifting of Puigdemont's arrest warrant but criticizes the Constitutional Court

The instructor of the process explains that "the doctrine of the Constitutional Court must be applied, even if the reasons on which it is based are not shared."

Puigdemont rules out serving as head of the opposition in the Parliament and prepares his return: "They must sign the surrender"

The investigating judge of the process, Pablo Llarena, has refused to reactivate the national arrest warrant against Carles Puigdemont. The judge lifted this measure weeks ago, after hearing the ruling of the Constitutional Court in which the misappropriation of the process was declared amnestiable. The popular accusation exercised by Vox appealed this decision by Llarena, but the instructor has rejected its appeal. In a 12-page document, the magistrate emphasizes that "the doctrine of the Constitutional Court must be applied, even if the reasons on which it is based are not shared."
