Six years after leading Catalonia's failed bid to secede from Spain, Carles Puigdemont rocked the Spanish political scene again on Thursday, but this time to provide his party's crucial support for a Socialist-led government in Madrid. The promise of a wide amnesty for Catalan separatists, including himself, that the 60-year-old fugitive from Spanish justice won in return is already dividing the country where protests have erupted in recent days. Puigdemont, with his recognisable Beatles haircut and tailored suit, announced the support of his Junts party for acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez from Brussels, where he has lived in self-imposed exile since 2017.
