Carles Puigdemont, will run in the European election for MEP in the May 26 election. The President will top the pro-independence Junts per Catalunya (Together for Catalonia) candidacy. The former head of the Catalan government, who is in exile in Belgium since October 2017, announced it through his social media accounts. "It is time to make another step to internationalize Catalonia's right of self-determination from the heart of Europe to the world," he tweeted. It remains unclear whether Puigdemont will be able to take office as MEP .Spain's Supreme Court enforced in July 2018 an article of the criminal code enabling for individuals facing rebellion charges and a prison warrant to be temporarily suspended from public office until the verdict on their cases is out.
