Katalonien: Separatistenführer Puigdemont darf wohl nach Spanien zurück
Das Verfassungsgericht erklärte ein vorheriges Urteil als ungültig. Der ehemalige Regierungschef Kataloniens darf damit zurückkehren. Er hatte Kataloniens Unabhängigkeit erreichen wollen.
Puigdemont, the former Catalan leader, fled to Belgium in October 2017 after a failed attempt to secede Catalonia from Spain. He had been under arrest since then, but a constitutional court ruling may allow him to return. The court ruled that public money misused to fund the illegal independence referendum was not personal enrichment, removing the grounds for his arrest.
Despite the Spanish arrest warrant, Puigdemont has traveled across Europe for speeches and political events, including a surprise visit to Barcelona in 2024.
