His return has sparked significant attention, as he faces an outstanding arrest warrant for alleged embezzlement. Puigdemont appeared at a rally in Barcelona and attended a welcome event organized by his party, aiming to reignite the Catalan independence movement. In response, Catalan police launched an operation to arrest him, locking down parts of Barcelona. Despite the efforts, Puigdemont managed to evade capture, and a police officer was arrested in connection with his escape.
