The defense of former President Carles Puigdemont has filed an application for amparo with the Constitutional Court to request the application of the amnesty denied to him by the Supreme Court after the Constitutional Court has upheld the Amnesty Act, as well as the precautionary suspension of the arrest warrant that remains in force.

The lawyer for former Catalan President Gonzalo Boye has filed an appeal against the decisions issued by the Supreme Court's Appeals Chamber and the investigating judge. 

The Supreme Court rejected the impositionofamnesty, inter alia, because Puigdemont is charged with an offence of embezzlement of public funds . But the former president's defence considers that the refusal of amnesty for this crime demonstrates a "strategy of judicial resistance" to the law and "violates the principle of separation of powers and legality".

It also requests the Constitutional Courtto suspendthe arrest warrant  on the grounds that "it is not protected by a final sanction".
