Madrid – Former Catalan Prime Minister Carles Puigdemont wants to run for the regional elections in May. If he wins, he would return to Spain regardless of an arrest warrant, Puigdemont said on Thursday in Elne, a French town regarding 30 kilometers from the border. “If a majority proposes me to be sworn in as head of government, I will end my exile on that day and take part in the parliamentary session.” His goal is still the region’s independence from Spain. He will ask the government in Madrid for a referendum. Puigdemont did not rule out unilateral action if the negotiations were not successful.
