Catalonia's deposed president Carles Puigdemont, who has been in Germany for four months, said Wednesday he will return to Belgium after a Spanish judge dropped a European arrest warrant for him.
"This weekend I will return to Belgium," the separatist leader told a news conference in Berlin, adding his "political activity will be based in Belgium."
Spain's Supreme Court dropped a European arrest warrant for Puigdemont last Thursday after Germany refused to extradite him to face a charge of rebellion for declaring Catalonia an independent state last year.
