Original: Court ruling clears key hurdle for separatist leader Puigdemont’s return to Spain

A court ruling has cleared a key legal obstacle for Carles Puigdemont, the exiled Catalan separatist leader, to return to Spain. The decision removes one of the main barriers that had kept the former Catalan president abroad since the 2017 independence bid, and is being closely watched for what it means for Spain's long-running political and legal standoff over Catalonia.

Why now: A fresh court decision has changed the legal prospects of a high-profile separatist leader's return, making it breaking news in Spanish and European politics.
