Puigdemont attends María del Mar Bonet concert in Paris
Carles Puigdemont attended a concert by singer María del Mar Bonet at the Olympia in Paris.
The concert marked 50 years since Bonet performed at the same venue in 1975.
She was an important figure in the Catalan Nova Cançó movement, which helped keep the Catalan language visible during the repression of Franco’s regime.
Puigdemont was president of Catalonia in 2017, when its parliament approved a failed declaration of independence.
He has lived in Belgium since leaving Spain to avoid an arrest warrant linked to that process.
Spain’s Supreme Court lifted the warrant this week, but Puigdemont says he will wait for the case to be definitively closed and for the amnesty law to be fully applied before returning.
The concert was his first public appearance since a press conference in Waterloo, Belgium, earlier in the week.
