Puigdemont rules out acting as leader of the opposition in Parliament

Carles Puigdemont, the former president of Catalonia's Generalitat, has criticized Spanish justice for not applying the amnesty law to his judicial situation. He warned that he does not rule out new "judicial maneuvers" to prevent his return to Spain, but believes the process has reached a point of no return. Puigdemont is now considering his return to Catalonia as a real possibility and has started preparing for it.

He has also dismissed the idea of leading the opposition in the Parliament, citing his past experience as president.
