Spain: opening of an investigation for “terrorism” against Catalan independence leader Carles Puigdemont. “Democratic tsunami” is the name of a mysterious platform which called for protest against the sentencing on October 14, 2019 of nine independence leaders to prison for their role in the 2017 secession attempt.
Thousands of activists had notably formed the blockade from Barcelona airport that day. This investigation also targets Rubén Wagensberg, an elected official in the Catalan regional Parliament who left Spain a few weeks ago to avoid prosecution.
