Exiled Catalan Leader Puigdemont Announces Return to Spain Amid Political Tensions

Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont has declared his intention to return to Spain from self-imposed exile in Belgium. Puigdemont, who has been living in exile for seven years after organizing an illegal independence referendum in Catalonia, announced he will attend the Catalan parliament in Barcelona for the investiture debate of the next president of the Generalitat. In a video message, he emphasized that his return is necessary to highlight the "democratic anomaly" in Spain. His return risks arrest, as Spain's supreme court has upheld warrants against him despite a recent amnesty law. Puigdemont's move could destabilize the ruling coalition and intensify political tensions in Spain.
