Spanish electoral body blocks Puigdemont from running in EU election – POLITICO
CATALONIA
'Spain’s Central Electoral Commission has blocked ousted Catalan
President Carles Puigdemont from running in the European Parliament
election.'
'The commission’s decision not to recognize Puigdemont
as a candidate comes after the right-leaning Popular Party and
Ciudadanos appealed to the electoral body about his candidacy, as well
as that of two other Catalan separatists who face charges in Spain,
according to their party, Junts per Catalunya (Together for Catalonia).'
