Puigdemont leaves Belgium and stages a rapprochement with Catalonia by establishing his residence in France, 30 kilometers from the border. With this movement, the fugitive seeks to stage a gradual approach to Catalonia after in the conference given to confirm his candidacy he promised that he would return to Spain if he gathers the necessary support to be sworn into Parliament in the month of June.
The amnesty law has already been applied and, therefore, the arrest warrant on Spanish soil against him has expired.
