Carles Puigdemont, the former president of Catalonia, has confirmed his imminent return to Spain for the investiture debate of Salvador Illa, despite the risk of arrest.
In a lengthy letter, he expressed his determination to confront what he calls a "demophobic regime" and criticized the recent agreement between Esquerra Republicana (ERC) and the PSC, which he believes undermines Catalonia's interests.
Puigdemont, who has been in exile for nearly seven years to avoid prosecution, stated that his return could lead to his detention, as he is not covered by the amnesty law.
He urged supporters to prepare for potential protests against his arrest, framing his return as a political act rather than a personal one.
The situation is tense, with Puigdemont's actions potentially influencing ERC's decision on whether to support Illa's presidency.
