Puigdemont, a year after his return and escape: "If they want me locked up and disqualified, my duty is to do the opposite."
The former president of the Generalitat returned to Catalonia on August 8, 2024, to escape again after a brief speech.
Junts President Carles Puigdemont said on Friday that it will soon beeight years since he is "in exile, even if some do not want it" and added: "If they want me locked up and disqualified, it is my duty to try the opposite."
This has been stated by the former president of the Generalitat on the social network X, to return to Catalonia on the day of the year since .
On August 8, 2024, coinciding with the investiture debate of Salvador Illa in the Parlament, Puigdemontreturned clandestinely with an arrest warrant against him, despite the amnesty law in force, and entered a welcoming act next to the Arc de Triomphe in Barcelona.
In his message, Puigdemont explains the reasons thatled him to carry out this operation against the "normality" claimed by the Government of Salvador Ill.
"If propaganda and propagandists do not miss an opportunity to preach the gospel of the prettiest lie of 'normality', our duty is to remove the mask whenever we have a chance. Maintaining the position is not always comfortable or pleasant. But it is an essential position that we should never abandon, even if we are angry, disappointed or discouraged," he added.
