EU Court of Justice upholds denial of MP status for Catalan separatists Puigdemont and Comin.

The European Union Court of Justice has rejected an appeal by Catalan separatists Carles Puigdemont and Toni Comin, who sought recognition as Members of the European Parliament after being denied in 2019. Their exclusion was due to their failure to take an oath to respect the Spanish constitution. The court upheld previous rulings, affirming that the Parliament president cannot challenge the official list of elected MEPs provided by Spain.
