Catalonia's ex-president Carles Puigdemont on life 'on the run'
Carles Puigdemont, the ex-president of the Spanish region of Catalonia,
spoke to the BBC's Europe reporter Gavin Lee about life in self-imposed
exile in Belgium.
The interview
took place as 12 pre-independence politicians face trials in Madrid and
some could face up to 25 years in prison, if found guilty.
Mr
Puigdemont has been on the run since his then-government led a failed
attempt to secede from Spain after a controversial self-determination
referendum.
