Carles Puigdemont will not continue as an MEP in the European Parliament in the next term and with his sights set on the Catalan elections on May 12, he has established his residence in the south of France, in the region of Catalunya del Nord, from where he plans to campaign. . This same Saturday, in Elna, without going any further, he has already planned an event to present his candidacy and a meeting of the national council of the formation to ratify the lists.
Since Holy Week, the former president of the Generalitat and Junts per Catalunya candidate in the parliamentary elections on 12-M has left Waterloo (Belgium) and resides in the region of Vallespir (France). This is how JxCat sources have explained it.
At the Elna event a few weeks ago, in which the post-convergent leader confirmed that he will be the Junts candidate, he said that he aspired to return to Catalonia to be president again.
In any case, this eventual return, which the independence leader had not initially planned until autumn although the Amnesty law will come into force before the summer with the current script, will now take place from the south of France and not from Brussels. .
