Ousted Catalan President Carles Puigdemont appealed to Danish politicians and students to support his bid to win independence from Spain.
Puigdemont spoke at a panel debate on Catalonia at Copenhagen University on Monday as part of a visit that will include a visit to the Danish parliament. He took the microphone at the event after a Spanish Supreme Court judge turned down a prosecutor’s request to reactivate a European arrest warrant against him, saying it might play into Puigdemont’s strategy.
