Puigdemont's lawyer says that the 'former president' is willing to return to Spain and be arrested. Gonzalo Boye is one of the legal architects of the amnesty law agreed by the Government with the pro-independence parties.
Boyé affirms that nothing can prevent his client from being a candidate: “It is what Aragonès and Sánchez fear” The arrest, if it happens, will not prevent “him from being president” after the Catalan regional elections on May 12.
