Òmnium claims that 60% of amnesty applicants no longer have open cases.

Exactly one year after its approval in Congress , the Amnesty Law has been applied to 178 pro-independence activists who had requested its application. This figure comes from a report released today by Òmnium Cultural, which highlights that 49 more "targeted individuals" have had their cases closed, and another nine have been acquitted. In total, 236 cases have been closed out of 394 applicants, meaning that up to 60% of this group are already closed.

On the other hand, the entity has 35 denials, 48 ​​cases suspended due to unconstitutionality issues brought before the Constitutional Court (CC), and 75 for which it has no record of a judicial response. This represents a total of 158 people. Added to these figures are 332 people for whom Òmnium has no record of having requested amnesty to resolve their criminal status.

The Amnesty Law came into force on 11 June 2024. Since then, Òmnium has created a syndicate that estimated that 1,610 separatists were eligible for amnesty, including 726 criminal cases and 884 administrative sanctions (basically fines), regardless of whether they had applied for amnesty, and excluding police officers. If the figure of 726 is taken as a reference, the entity is then disappointed, since the percentage of cases drops from 60% (among those who applied for amnesty and those who did not) to 32.5% (including all of them).

170 police officers have been amnestied; four others have been denied access to the law.

Specifically, the association laments the high rate of amnesties granted to members of the security forces. Up to 170 police officers have benefited from the law. For Òmnium, this situation is "one of the clearest indicators of the partial application of the Amnesty Law" and denounces "police impunity." Among them, there are 132 police officers who were investigated for attacks on voters during the October 1st referendum, and eight Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police officers), thirteen National Police officers, and eleven Civil Guard officers for their actions during the protests following the Supreme Court ruling against pro-independence leaders in October 2019. However, the organization celebrates that four police officers implicated in the mutilation of an eye with a rubber bullet have been denied amnesty.

The report also denounces that "the Spanish judicial leadership, especially the Supreme Court, the National Court, and to a certain extent also the High Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC), continues to wage war against the law," further demonstrating "a willingness to continue criminalizing the Catalan movement in favor of self-determination" and acting "to delay the implementation of the amnesty." It also accuses these courts of being responsible for the denial or suspension of the applications of the political leaders of the October 1st referendum.

The association denounces the "partial" actions of courts such as the Supreme Court, the National Court, and the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia.

In any case, Òmnium is pleased that 60% of applicants no longer have open cases. In its first report, from October 2024, the amnesty had been applied to 22% of the requested cases, and in its January 2025 report, it counted 39%.

Administrative sanctions deserve a separate chapter. Of the 884 affected individuals, 21 have been subject to the criminal oblivion law, 19 have had their applications denied, and two are awaiting a response. In January, 17 amnesties had been granted, and five were pending resolution.
