Carles Puigdemont can return to Spain. The court in Madrid decides this. A judge stops the arrest order for him. The court says: The amnesty is valid for him. An amnesty means that punishments for actions end.
Puigdemont was the boss of the region Catalonia in the past. He wanted to separate Catalonia from Spain. There was a vote for this in the year 2017. Spain said: This vote is illegal. Puigdemont fled from the police to Belgium after that.
There was a long fight about money for the vote. People said: He used state money in a bad way. The court says now: He did not take money for himself. Therefore he can return without fear. New elections take place in Spain soon.
