On the Court’s 68th birthday, they are looking back at the year’s main highlights.

Following the ruling, the European Parliament initially included the name of Junqueras as a full Member of the European Parliament. But then his seat was left vacant when the Spanish Supreme Court sent him its particular interpretation of the ECJ decision. The Spanish court argued that Junqueras should remain in prison.
