Exiled Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont returns to Spain | BBC News


Police in Barcelona are hunting for the separatist former leader of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, who made a dramatic return to Spain after a seven-year exile despite facing an outstanding arrest warrant.

For much of the past several years he has lived in Brussels, after police indicted him on charges linked to a failed bid for independence in 2017.

Mr Puigdemont briefly addressed hundreds of supporters who gathered near the Catalan parliament in Barcelona, shortly ahead of the expected investiture of a new head of the Catalan government.

He said he had returned "to remind you that we are still here" and that "holding a referendum is not and will never be a crime."
