(ANSA) - STRASBOURG, JAN 13 - "In Catalonia I intend to return very soon, very quickly". This was announced today by MEP Carles Puigdemont in conversation with journalists in Strasbourg. "Immunity does not end in the Pyrenees," he said. The former Catalan president self-exiled to Belgium in late 2017, following the attempted secession. On 20 December he won his battle by entering the EU Parliament to receive the accreditation as MEP together with his colleague ToniComin. The turning point after the judgment of the EU Court of Justice.
