Compatibility of various provisions of Ley Orgánica 1/2024, de 10 de junio, de amnistía para la normalización institucional, política y social en Cataluña (Organic Law No 1/2024 of 10 June 2024 on amnesty for institutional, political and social normalisation in Catalonia) (the LOA) with EU law - allegations of mismanagement of public funds in Catalonia, potentially impacting the financial interests of the EU - Lack of accountability mechanisms under the LOA for recovering funds linked to activities during 2011–2017 that supported Catalan independence - interpretation of EU principles, including the protection of financial interests (Art. 325 TFEU) and the right to a fair trial (Art. 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights).

One question asks whether the extinguishing of accounting liability under the LOA conflicts with EU law, particularly regarding whether the funds involved were derived from EU or national budgets. The reference also queries whether Spain’s procedural timelines (e.g., two-month decision deadlines) contravene the right to a fair trial and impose undue external pressure on courts.
