Former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont arrived back in Brussels on Saturday, after attempts to extradite him to Spain from Germany on charges of rebellion fell through.
Puigdemont met with current President of the Government of Catalonia Quim Torra at the Delegation of the Government of Catalonia to the European Union’s building in Brussels.
Puigdemont had been in Germany since his arrest on March 25, when the Spanish government issued a European warrant on rebellion charges. However, the district court in the German State of Schleswig-Holstein ruled he would not be extradited and released him on bail, causing a Spanish judge to withdraw the warrant. The still charges remain in place, meaning Puigdemont would be arrested if he returned to Spain.
