A Spanish Supreme Court judge has issued an international arrest warrant for fugitive ex-Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont following the sentencing of 12 of his pro-Catalonia independence colleagues in Spain for their role in a 2017 secession push led by him.
Protests and roadblocks in Catalonia have followed Monday’s Supreme Court ruling, with the pro-independence leader of the wealthy northeastern region calling on Spanish authorities to grant “amnesty” to the 12 convicted and seven fugitive separatists. Torra said Monday after the Supreme Court released the verdict that sentenced nine separatist leaders to nine to 13 years from their role in an illegal 2017 secession bid that he would ask for an urgent meeting with Spanish caretaker Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
Soccer club Barcelona has criticized the Spanish Supreme Court’s conviction of 12 Catalan politicians and activists for their role in a 2017 secession attempt, saying “prison is not the solution.” For years, separatists unfurled a massive banner reading “Catalonia is not Spain” at the Camp Nou Stadium.Hundreds of students and civil servants have begun protesting in different parts of Barcelona following the sentencing of nine Catalan separatist leaders to prison.
The comments were carried by his Republican Left party after the sentence by the Supreme Court was released on Monday.
How is Spain different from Communist China? At least China is not a democracy.
joanmariapique Carles Puigdemont is not a fugitive. He is exiled. SpainIsAFascistState
I have a newspaper project, in the information, how to benefit from the grants?
Well that is not democracy! If you can’t win just put the person in jail! Sounds familiar! Look back about 70 to 75 years ago

so how do independence calls in Catelonia differ for the independence calls in Hong Kong? both seem pretty legit to me.
