Carles Puigdemont has been detained in Germany, according to the former Catalan president’s lawyer.

An arrest warrant had been issued for Puigdemont in Finland after the former president visited the country for talks with lawmakers. He was returning to Belgium, where he lives in self-imposed exile, when he was detained by German authorities after crossing the border from Denmark.

“First Minister Carles Puigdemont has been detained in Germany when he was crossing the border from Denmark,” Jaume Alonso-Cuevillas, Puigdemont’s lawyer, tweeted Sunday. Puigdemont is now said to be in a police station awaiting his legal team. German police have confirmed the arrest. It is unclear where Puigdemont is being held.

Protesters took to the streets of Barcelona to protest Puidgement's arrest Sunday.

The vote led to riots across the region amid accusations of police violence. Puidgemont fled the region in the wake of the vote. A number of his colleagues have spent time in jail and are now facing trial.

This is what the fascist EU (and Germany in particular) is defending. Turns out that the EU is a club that is easily entered but cannot be left without punishment.

This is a reminder of events last year in Catalonia.
