He should be arrested for fleeing the scene of a crime.

he looks shifty to me
why did he do a runner from spain anyway?
so what if he goes to prison? he can fight his case from there, rather than abandoning his people and wandering around europe

This feels very wrong to me and I don't think in the long run it will help Spain's position on Catalan.

but my impression was (correct me if I'm wrong) that the Catalan referendum was illegal.
Imagine if Sturgeon called the second referendum without an ok from London.

there is nothing up for dispute. The spanish government dictate the terms, they decided it was illegal, made it clear it was illegal before Puigdemont carried out his actions, and he then ran for escape to another country. He needs to go back and face the consequences of his actions.
