Catalan Secessionist Leaders to Appear in Court
Reuters
Catalonia’s secessionist leaders will appear before a court in Madrid on Thursday to answer charges of rebellion and sedition, though the region’s former president Carles Puigdemont said he would not turn up, Reuters reports.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy sacked Puigdemont and his government on Friday, hours after the Catalan parliament made a unilateral declaration of independence - a vote boycotted by the opposition and declared illegal by Spanish courts.
Puigdemont said on Wednesday he would ignore the court order to answer charges over the region’s push for independence, but he was ready to testify from Belgium, where he had traveled with four other members of his sacked cabinet.
