Puigdemont charges against the European Parliament, attacks the judges and denies the connection with Russia. "If we had made Feijóo president, all this would not happen," he has come to assert.

"The Spanish PP has managed to impose its standards on the European conservative majority," he says. "No one will find in my decisions, statements or votes anything that can be interpreted in this sense," says Puigemont. "There has been no Russian plot nor any collusion with the Putin regime, in any sense," he adds.
