Puigdemont led an attempt to break up Catalonia in 2017, and is wanted by the police. But according to the news agency, the separatist leader was allowed to speak without the attending police intervening. The Spanish National Assembly decided in May to grant amnesty to Catalan separatists, but Spain’s Supreme Court rejected in July to grant amnesty to Puigdemont.
