The Spanish Supreme Court has dealt a significant blow to the government's Amnesty Law, ruling that corruption-related offenses cannot be pardoned.

This decision effectively excludes key Catalan independence leaders from amnesty, including Carles Puigdemont and Oriol Junqueras.

The court's interpretation, focusing on misuse of public funds, has ignited a fierce legal and political battle.

Government allies criticize the ruling as an attack on parliamentary sovereignty, with some even accusing the court of prevarication.

Meanwhile, the State Attorney's Office and Prosecutor's Office are preparing to challenge the decision.

The government remains hopeful that the Constitutional Court will ultimately enforce the law as intended.
