Catalan independence leaders gathered in Waterloo, Belgium, on Sunday to discuss the political landscape following judicial obstacles to the amnesty law.

The meeting, hosted by former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont, included representatives from Junts, ERC, CUP, and pro-independence organizations.

This summit follows a recent private meeting between Puigdemont and Oriol Junqueras, marking a potential thaw in their strained relationship.

The group addressed the Spanish Supreme Court's decision to exclude embezzlement charges from the amnesty, affecting several key figures in the independence movement.

They also discussed strategies for Puigdemont's potential return to Catalonia and upcoming pro-amnesty demonstrations.
